***TRIGGER WARNING***
We are offering men free mental health training in either August or September this year.

Why? The stigma about men's Mental Health and the toxic B.S out there MAKES IT DIFFICULT for Men, like you, or your mate to ask for help.

By training men as Mental Health First Aiders, we will make it easier for anyone to share their fears, low mood, feelings of being overwhelmed, and more.
The qualification doesn't make you a therapist, but rather a good listener.
This will, we know, drive down the dreadful Su***de Rate in Redditch.
We welcome companies that want to participate in this as well!
If you work with Men, approach us.
Curious? Please email
