I was apprehensive heading into the session given the topic, however Steve immediately put the room at ease with his approach. By the end of the session I had a good awareness of the problem facing men and a toolkit to spot warning signs that may appear in colleagues or friends.

Together, we are challenging the stigma, showing men everywhere that their feelings are valid and important.
