After losing his childhood best friend, advertising veteran and film director Ben Akers co-founded ‘Talk Club’, a charity dedicated to men’s mental fitness, that hosts hundreds of self-run talk groups for thousands of men, all over the UK. And not just talk groups, but also football, yoga, tennis, paddle ball, hiking groups, online or offline, you name it, however you want to do it, Talk Club is there for men. Based on the belief of asking “How are you out of 10?” Talk Club is a space for compassion and care for men, not just a place for them to talk, but more importantly, a place for them to be heard. Here Ben talks to TheTinMen about his journey, and how men talking can saves lives. Join or set up your own Talk Club at talkclub.org or follow them at @talkclubcharity And listen to the full podcast here! https://tinyurl.com/2d76yd6v #internationalmensday #mensmentalhealth Footage by Ron Lach, Cotton Bro Studio, from Pexels.
