MenWalkTalk - It’s a statement!

Men– We're talking to you!

Walk– It’s good for you, your mental health and your physical health!

Talk– Because there is more evidence to support talking over isolation!

Traditionally, men often avoid seeking support, but we can change this, by providing that support in a more accessible and easy way.

Together, we want to reduce the number of male suicides, we want to provide a community of support for guys to know they are not alone, and they can speak up.
