For Men To Talk launches ‘Knowledge Base’ page for accessible mental health resources
‘For Men To Talk,’ a peer support group for men, has launched a new page called the ‘Knowledge Base’ on its website. This section, now available in the Resources area, at the bottom of the homepage, is aimed at providing helpful information and resources for anyone who wants to better understand or support men’s mental health. It’s a place where friends, family members, healthcare professionals, and community mental health teams can easily access materials that raise awareness and support mental well-being.
The ‘Knowledge Base’ offers a range of downloadable posters and resources that can be printed and shared to help spread the word about ‘For Men To Talk’s’ services. There are posters available for each of their meeting formats, including physical, virtual, walking, and fishing gatherings. Each type of meeting gives men a different setting to connect with others who may share similar experiences, and these posters help explain where and when these meetings happen. This information makes it easier for individuals to decide which setting may work best for them, whether they prefer a traditional meeting or one that’s outdoors.
In addition to meeting posters, the ‘Knowledge Base’ includes important ‘For Men To Talk’ documents that explain the group’s values and safety guidelines. These include a code of conduct, which outlines the respectful and supportive behaviour expected in all meetings, and a risk analysis document to ensure a safe environment for everyone involved. These documents serve as a foundation for the group, highlighting its commitment to creating a safe and non-judgmental space for all participants.
One of the standout features of the ‘Knowledge Base’ is the inclusion of materials related to men’s physical health. In recognition of the close relationship between mental and physical health, ‘For Men To Talk’ has developed resources as part of its “Male Cancer Awareness” campaign. Posters from this campaign focus on the symptoms to look out for. With these materials, ‘For Men To Talk’ aims to encourage men to take action for their physical health, alongside caring for their mental well-being.
The ‘Knowledge Base’ provides an all-in-one resource for those looking to learn more about men’s mental health and the support services ‘For Men To Talk’ offers. It also empowers supporters and professionals with accessible materials to encourage more men to participate in peer support.
For anyone interested, the ‘Knowledge Base’ is now live and can be accessed at https://formentotalk.co.uk/knowledge-base/. The team at ‘For Men To Talk’ encourages everyone to check out these resources and use them to spread awareness of men’s mental health. Whether you’re looking for specific information on meeting times and locations, interested in learning about guidelines for a safe and supportive environment, or wanting to raise awareness about men’s physical health, the ‘Knowledge Base’ is a valuable resource.
