The importance of magazines in publicising ‘For Men To Talk’

When it comes to tackling mental health stigma and reaching the men who need support the most, visibility is everything. That’s why getting ‘For Men To Talk’ featured in key publications is more than just good publicity—it’s a vital part of our mission.

We’re proud to have recently been featured in two major publications: 

• The Bereavement Companion – Bereavement Support & Guidance (Autumn Magazine 2025)

• Bedfordshire Summer ShopLocal Guide 2025

These features help spread awareness about the spaces we create for men to open up—whether it’s around a table, on a walk, by the water, or in a virtual room.

“For some men, seeing us in a magazine they trust can be the first step toward realising they’re not alone,” says Luke Newman, founder of ‘For Men To Talk.’ “It’s about normalising the conversation and showing there’s a community waiting to listen.”

Print and digital magazines continue to play a powerful role in mental health advocacy. They offer credibility, reach diverse audiences, and can be kept, shared, and revisited. Especially for those who might not be active on social media or regularly searching online, a magazine article might be the very first time they learn about us.

At ‘For Men To Talk,’ our mission is rooted in creating open, judgment-free environments for men to speak candidly about grief, anxiety, and depression. By being featured in trusted community and health publications, we’re planting seeds of connection where they’re most needed.

So, if you spot our name in a magazine, pass it on. It might be just the nudge someone needs to start talking.
