Following the suicides of 2 close friends within days of each other, with no warning signs, I decided something had to be done to kick the stigma surrounding mental health and to stamp out the “man up” culture. We aim our focus toward men in male dominated environments where the “man up” culture is unfortunately ingrained, such as Armed Forces, Emergency services, Construction industries and sports clubs, to change the way of thinking and make it easier for men to open up. We offer help and support to anyone, Male or female, no matter what industry or background you may have. We also want to offer support and guidance to those indirectly affected by mental health issues. People who care for those who are struggling sometimes need support too, we are here for you. Being Ex-Military myself and now an engineer, I have seen first hand on a daily basis how men refuse to open up for fear of ridicule or being taken off frontline duties, this needs to stop. Our mission is for the subject of mental health to become as easy to talk about as the football results on a Saturday or how awful the weather is. If you wish to support us in any way wether it be attending an existing support group, becoming a facilitator of a new group, social media volunteering or fundraising, please contact us via PM or email us on info@toughenoughtocare.org TETC is a registered charity, with our main income coming from kind and generous donations from yourselves. We cannot thank people enough who make such kind donations to help us continue our mission of removing the stigma around mental health and to reduce the number of Male suicides. Thankyou for your continued support, Stu and the team 💪🏻💙 https://www.justgiving.com/toughenoughtocare
