Bonus: Andy's Man Club - The power of talking
Manage episode 378551534 series 3515401
In the UK, men are three times more likely to die from suicide than women, with those aged 40-49 having the highest suicide rate of all. Men are also more likely to develop alcohol dependency and use illegal drugs, and far less likely to access mental health support. So, in this bonus episode of The Brave Front, we caught up with Darren Edwards from Andy’s Man Club - a charity that offers men all over the UK a safe space to come to terms with the issues affecting their mental wellbeing - to talk about the options available to those worried for themselves, or someone else .
