Talk Club

Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK. 76% of UK suicides are male. A man takes his own life every 90 minutes in the UK. Talk Club wants to change this. Talk Club is a registered men’s mental health charity providing Talk & Listen, Talk & Exercise and Therapy Group sessions. Founded in 2019 (and gaining charity status in 2021) it has grown from a single talking group into a force for good. Our groups are safe, confidential spaces for men to be open without judgment or shame to help them become mentally fit. Many men don’t find it that easy to talk about their feelings. To many, it’s a foreign language they don’t know how to speak. So we try to help them. By asking them: 'How are you? Out of 10?' Every session starts and ends this way. This framework unlocks conversation by giving men a way to measure their feelings and begin to describe why. We want to continue to grow Talk & Listen, Talk & Exercise, and Talk Club Therapy groups. These groups help support and encourage more men to take charge of their mental health and this, in turn, saves lives.
