What a week!

Our CEO & Founder Jake Mills and Director of Business & Operational Development Chris Clarke headed to London for two important events shining a light on su***de prevention, mental health, and the wellbeing of men in society. 🫶

Jake attended the APPG on Su***de & Self-harm Prevention AGM, followed by a reception at 10 Downing Street for International Men’s Day, highlighting men’s mental health, wellbeing and the role of government in driving change Chris attended the launch of the new British Standard on Su***de and the Workplace at the Palace of Westminster.

Some words from Chris:

“Here at Chasing the Stigma we are incredibly proud to have been involved in the committees that helped shape the standard and are hopeful it will go a long way to reducing the devastating impact of su***de in the years ahead.” 💬

Thank you to all the speakers and partners who made these events possible, we welcome any opportunity to speak why mental health support must be inclusive and accessible wherever and whenever people need it. 💙

On Thursday we attended the Hope Conference by Speakers Collective, an inspiring day of honest, uplifting and empowering conversations. 🫶

We were proud to see our CEO & Founder, Jake, open the conference by speaking on the panel. We also heard powerful talks from Marsha McAdam and Stephen Melling, whose lived experiences really resonated with the room. 💬

Plus, The Man Hug Podcast filmed a live episode right there on the day! 🎙️

Huge thanks to Speakers Collective for bringing people together and creating a space filled with hope. 💛

Today we are giving a huge shout out to the brilliant people at The Regenda Group who this time last month climbed mount Snowdon in support of Chasing the Stigma – helping us to keep our Hub of Hope free – connecting people to timely mental health support wherever and whenever they need it.

The team said “It was a tough but rewarding challenge for us all - full of laughs, teamwork and a few sore legs 🤣 Special thank you to Jamie Maxwell for organising such a brilliant day! ⛰️”

They have raised a fantastic £750 so far, but there is still time to support their fundraiser here:

Started uni this year? 💛

Starting university is an exciting chapter, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. Remember, support is always Behind Every Door. 🚪

In 2022 we teamed up with Student Roost to make sure every student can access mental health support through the Hub of Hope, anytime they need it. Since then, we've now got the support of more student accommodation providers to support the initiative. With just one QR code behind every student door, thousands of young people now have instant access to help whenever they need it. 💬

You’re never alone in this.

We’re here, whenever you need us, visit the Hub Of Hope to find the support you need during this next chapter: https://hubofhope.co.uk/

We were proud to join the EFL in the Community ‘Mental Health Learning and Showcase Event’ at Pride Park Stadium in Derby - bringing together leaders and organisations across sport and health to champion mental wellbeing through physical activity.

Chris, our Director of Business and Operational Development, spoke about our collaboration with Mind and partners through the Mental Health & Movement Alliance, and our ongoing work to make it easier for people to find mental health support via the Hub Of Hope. 💙
