🧠 Men’s mental health matters. Let’s remember: mental and physical health are equally important parts of overall well-being. It’s okay to talk, it’s okay to seek help. 💙

On the bus with all the other volunteers, Dyna pulled out her journal and read about everything she had learned during the past month or so. She has come such a long way, and one day, she hopes that she can support someone else in the same way that Mo had been there for her. Anything is possible if you just start by doing something each day.

While packing for her trip, Dyna realised that if it wasn’t for Mo, she probably would never have decided to go. She picked up her phone and texted him: “Thank you so much for everything you do for me. I love you – you are my best friend.”

The food at the new restaurant was great, and it was lovely to see Mo. She told him about the opportunity to volunteer abroad for two weeks, but also that she was unsure if she should go.
“What are you afraid of?” he wanted to know.
“Like, everything!” she replied.
“It is the perfect opportunity to expand your horizons – I think you should go.”
