HEALTH Notes
New research shows that men often find it hard to communicate their struggles at their favourite meeting places – pubs and bars. Now, a men’s mental health charity is partnering with pubs to help men open up.
On average, men spend four hours a week at the pub, discussing sport and telling jokes, but only
15% would talk about how they really feel. So, HUMEN has partnered with Heinekenowned Star Pubs and Bars to bring mental health experts to these gathering spots to encourage open conversation among men. This initiative will culminate in the UK’s first Pub Pilgrimage on Sunday, December 4, taking place in 13 locations across the country.
Supporters of the charity will embark on a 5,151-metre walk, each step representing a man who lost their life to suicide in the past year.
