Time to Talk: Breaking the Silence on Men’s Mental Health

For many men, talking about mental health still feels like a challenge. We’re often taught to push through, stay strong, and handle things on our own. But silence doesn’t solve struggles, it just makes them harder to carry.

That’s why Time to Talk Day today is so important. It’s a reminder that opening up, even in small ways, can make a real difference. A quick chat with a mate, checking in with a colleague, or simply listening without judgment, these moments can change lives.

Why It Matters for Men

• Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50.

• 1 in 3 men admit to bottling up their feelings.

• Workplace pressures, financial stress, and relationship struggles are common but often go unspoken.

How You Can Get Involved

🔹 At work: Start conversations that normalise mental health. Strong teams are built on real connections.
🔹 With mates: A simple “How’s things?” can be the lifeline someone needs.
🔹 For yourself: Speaking up isn’t weakness, it’s resilience in action.

At Guiding Light Coaching, we help men find clarity, confidence, and purpose through coaching and mental wellbeing workshops. This Time to Talk Day, let’s break the silence and make space for honest conversations.

Let’s talk. Let’s listen. Let’s support each other.
