“Simon Says, Let’s Talk” is a new creative-health series breaking the silence around men’s mental health. Hosted by Dr Simon Opher for Stroud MBE (GP), each live podcast invites leading UK talent to share their stories and practical tools to strengthen mental fitness. Blending humour, honesty and an open audience Q&A, the first event, In Conversation with Tom Walker (AKA Jonathan Pie), explores how laughter connects us and helps us heal.

There will be mental health clinicians at the event, should anyone want to reach out on the night. A pay as you can meal will also be available prior to the show at The Long Table Stroud in Brimscombe Mill.

This short animation by Emily Downe, and voiced by Dr Kathryn Mannix guides you gently on a step by step journey through the process of dying.

If you are moved by this, consider reading With the End in Mind by Dr Kathryn Mannix.
