Calm your mind is a campaign designed with local men for local men with the ultimate aim of improving men’s mental health and reducing suicides. The campaign focusses on:

  • Sharing information specifically for men helping them to understand why they react the way they do to certain situations and problems
  • Raising awareness of positive practical things men can do to calm their minds and think more clearly
  • Sharing details of support available for specific problems to help them get back on their feet
  • Raising awareness of support available via text, web chat and face to face to help them offload in confidence as we know men don’t like worrying their family and friends.

Getting support: 

Getting things off our chest calms the mind and helps us come up with solutions to problems we are facing. 

You can access local peer support groups and face to face support. Help is also available online and over the phone:
