You have noticed that they seem low or anxious, but they are finding it hard to articulate what's going on. And you don't want to make things worse, insult or embarrass them. Men's mental health is a complex - and at times intimidating - topic. You're working against ingrained ideas about what's "acceptable" to talk about and what's not. Through four simple steps, mental health advcate Tom Chapman will help you start a meaningful conversation, create a safe space to talk openly and improve your listening skills. Based on a training approach created by psychiatrists and mental health professionals, the steps will help you: recognize if someone is struggling with their mental health, give you the words to ask how they are, listen in an ebgaged and empathetic way, signpost someone to any help they might need. THese effective techniques will give you the tools you need to feel confident in offering care and support.
