For too long, men have been told to “man up” when what they really needed was someone to listen.

So this month, we’re rewriting it.
Man Up = Speak Up.
Man Up = Open Up.
Man Up = Show Up for yourself.

Strength is being honest, not hidden.
If you need someone to talk to, TalkPlus is here. No judgement. Just support.

Let’s talk about what “checking in” really means.

It’s easy to say “I’m fine.” It’s harder to admit when you’re not.
That’s why checking in with the men in your life, really checking in, matters.

Ask twice.
Listen properly.
Don’t rush to fix.

Sometimes, just being there is enough to make a difference.

At TalkPlus, we know the smallest conversations can open the biggest doors to support. This Movember, let’s keep those doors open, for our mates, our colleagues, and ourselves.

If someone you know is struggling, or if you’re finding things difficult yourself, you don’t have to face it alone. We’re here to help.

It’s Men’s Health Awareness Month – or as most know it, .

At TalkPlus, we know that good health isn’t just about how your body feels, it’s also about how your mind’s doing. This month, we’re joining the conversation around men’s mental health.

Too many men still struggle in silence. So, this November, we’re encouraging everyone, friends, families, workplaces, to start the conversations that matter. Check in on a mate. Ask twice. Listen without judgement. And if support’s needed, know that it’s okay to reach for it.

Awareness months like this one are a great reminder, but looking after your mental wellbeing is something worth doing all year round.

Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy Course for Depression, Anxiety and Pain

This is an 8-week in-person course for those interested in using mindfulness skills to improve their mental and physical well-being.

This is a practical course teaching participants how to pay greater attention to the present moment – to thoughts, feelings and body states as well as the world around them– in order to be able to take better care of themselves.

Mindfulness practice has been shown to be particularly beneficial for people who are recovering from depression, wanting to deal with anxiety and stress, or having to manage longer-term physical health conditions.

Referrals to the course are through your TalkPlus therapist.
