Support: Group talk

MenSpeak men's groups

UK: London

MenSpeak men’s groups are a safe space where men can hang out and be open and honest with each other without the pressure to compete, perform or enter the pecking order. We practice dropping the facade and being as real as we can with each other. We seek to let go of what’s been holding us back, so that we may live a more authentic and empowered life. Together we listen, laugh and grow. We are accepting, accountable and we want more out of life.

There are two types of groups:

• Open Groups (anyone can attend) are introductory level, although there’s often significant depth and plenty of growth for all.
• Closed Groups (same group of men for 6 months) foster greater trust and therefore openness, which leads to greater depth and learning.

MenSpeak men’s groups are currently held in London and also online.

Support: Mental Health

Mental Health Foundation

UK

We take a public mental health approach to prevention, finding solutions for individuals, those at risk and for society, in order to improve everyone’s mental wellbeing. The practical things we do:

• Community and peer programmes; we test and evaluate the best approaches to improving mental health in communities and then roll them out as widely as possible. 
• Research; we publish studies and reports on what protects mental health and the causes of poor mental health and how to tackle them. 
• Public engagement; we give advice to millions of people on mental health. We are most well known for running Mental Health Awareness Week across the UK each year. 
• Advocacy; we propose solutions and campaign for change to address the underlying causes of poor mental health. 

What we don’t do: 

• We are not an academic think tank or research institute. We generate and apply evidence in real world settings.  
• We are not a mental health service provider for when people are unwell.  
• We don't only focus on individual actions and steps.
• We look at both the personal and societal changes that can improve and protect everyone’s mental health.

Mental Health Mates

UK

Mental Health Mates is a network of peer support groups IRL and online, run by people who experience their own mental health issues, meeting regularly to walk, connect and share without fear or judgement. With Walks across the United Kingdom, Mental Health Mates has become a thriving community that only continues to grow! We know, from personal experience, that mental illness magnifies through isolation. So whether it is talking to someone, sharing with them or simply walking beside them, we believe that getting connected is the first steps to recovery.

Support: Dementia • Complex Behavioural Needs • Learning Disabilities

Milestones Trust

UK

Small steps to a brighter future. We support people with learning disabilities, mental health needs, dementia, and those with complex behavioural needs. More than ever, people in our society need what we have to offer: the expertise, experience, and empathy to bring about real, lasting, positive change. It can be the smallest of steps or the greatest of strides. Always, it’s about moving forward, achieving one milestone after another, building momentum. Momentum shows itself in many ways. It’s never feeling comfortable with the status quo. It’s doing the right things for the right reasons. It’s the thousand little changes that happen across our organisation each day. Changes that collectively, and ultimately, transform the lives of the people we support.
