Episode 15: Male Grief and Stigma Ft Callum Flannigan and Liam Butcher

In this bonus episode we discuss male grief and stigma. Today is World Mental Health Day and all mental health matters, and that includes men. There is often a stigma attached to men when it comes to vulnerability. It is okay not to be okay and that shouldn’t emasculate any man or make anyone feel less than. There is a lot of work to do in order to break the stigma. Our guests, Callum and Liam, share their experiences with grief and how they deal with their mental health. They are part of an organisation called Let’s Talk About Loss which is a bereavement organisation. Let’s Talk About Loss supports those aged 18-35 who have lost a loved one. Let’s Talk About Loss offers support to hundreds of bereaved young people, with 23 locations throughout the UK, however only an estimated 20% of members of the bereavement organisation are men For further information about Let’s Talk About Loss and to find out more about local support groups visit: https://letstalkaboutloss.org/ or follow them on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/talkaboutloss/ For all inquiries you can contact us at [email protected] Follow on Spotify and Subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
