An in-person talk in the Lloyd’s building
From Silence to Support: Changing the Face of Men’s Mental Health
Over three-quarters of men (77%) say they’ve experienced anxiety, stress or depression - but 40% have never told anyone about it.
This Movember, join mental health educator Ross Abbott as he explores the silence around men’s mental health and how we can all play a role in changing the conversation. From breaking down harmful myths to learning how to check in and offer meaningful support, this talk will equip you with the understanding and tools to make a real difference.
Whether you’re supporting a friend, family member, colleague, or focusing on your own wellbeing, you’ll discover how small actions can open up honest conversations and help create safer spaces.
Talk Duration: About 35 minutes, plus time for questions and answers.
