How many men do you know who aren’t quite right… but would never say it?
We run free online sessions for men every week.
Some are hosted by @jameselliottofficial
No referral. No cost. No pressure to speak.
Just a space where men can turn up, listen, or talk if they want to.
We’ve tried boosting posts before.
It just brings the wrong crowd.
So we don’t bother.
We’d rather use our funds to help men directly.
Which means this only spreads because of people like you.
The ones who share it
The ones who send it quietly to a mate
The ones who know someone might need it
👉 Send this to someone
👉 Share it to your story
Because the men who need this aren’t searching for help.
They’re getting on with it. Quietly.
If you’re a man and want to join:

No pressure. No judgement. Just turn up.

Men & Your Resilience with James Elliott MSc
If pressure has been building or you feel like you are just getting through things rather than handling them properly, this session is worth your time.
This is not about pretending to be strong.
It is about understanding how you deal with pressure and learning how to stay steady when things get heavy.
No pressure to speak.
No expectation to share.
Just a space to listen and take something useful away.

“Men don’t talk.”
That’s what we keep hearing.
Yet every time we put men in a room, around a table, on a walk, or round a fire… they talk.
The bigger question is:
Who are they willing to talk to?
This wasn’t scripted.
No experts.
No filters.
Just 6 men having one uncomfortable conversation about trust, purpose, belonging, and why some men stop opening up.
One line kept coming up:
“Are the RIGHT people listening?”
That’s the part society still struggles with.

One thing this clip may challenge is the idea that suicide is always an instant decision.
Listening to Al speak, you realise how long some men can sit with these thoughts without people fully understanding what’s happening in their heads.
The planning.
The rationalising.
Trying to reduce the impact on others.
Even choosing locations years in advance.
That doesn’t mean every man’s experience is the same.
But it does show why surface-level conversations around men’s mental health often miss what’s really going on underneath.
This is exactly why we run MANUP? Talks on the first Thursday of every month.
Not polished awareness campaigns.
Real conversations that help people understand why some men stay silent for so long.

Men & Your Resilience with James Elliott MSc
Resilience gets misunderstood.
It is not about pushing everything down or just getting on with it.
A lot of men carry pressure without really knowing what it is doing to them. Over time, that builds. It shows up in stress, burnout, frustration or feeling constantly on edge.
This session focuses on building real resilience.
Understanding how you handle pressure, what wears you down and how to stay steady without running yourself into the ground.
Led by James Elliott, this is a practical, straight-talking session built around real life, not theory.
You do not have to speak.
You do not have to turn your camera on.
You just need to show up.

What happens to a man when life hits hard and his mind becomes clouded?
In this Street Talks interview he speaks openly about illness, pressure, expectation and the feeling of losing control of your own life.
His message is simple.
- Clarity comes from self reflection.
- Autonomy gives you strength.
- Taking back control helps you feel alive again.
Every man has a story.
Every story carries truth.

This Thursday we are having one of the most important conversations in the series.
Alastair Baker shares his experience of reaching a point where ending his life felt like the only option, and what was actually going on in his head at the time.
This session is about understanding, not judging. Because the signs are often there. They are just missed.
📅 This Thursday
🕖 6:15pm to 7:15pm
📍 Online via Zoom
Open to all. Free to attend. Limited spaces.

Boots on. Heads down. Real conversations without forcing them...
A weekend where men turned up as they were and left lighter than they arrived.
That is what MANUP? Mountain is about.
Now we go again... but in Wales!
3rd - 5th of July. A new group. The same purpose.
This is not a retreat.
It is a reset.
A chance to get away from everything, challenge yourself physically and spend time around men who just get it.
If you have been watching from the sidelines, this is your chance to step in.
Spaces are limited.

He said it best... Mental health is the foundation of everything you do and the way you deal with it changes day by day.
