M's The Word | Men are suffering in silence: what alcohol dependency really looks like | Ft. Paul Adams

This June, for Men's Mental Health Month, we're doing something different. In our very first guest episode, we were honoured to be joined by Paul Adams of Pepper Money, a man who spoke with extraordinary courage about his personal experience with alcohol dependency and the road to recovery. Ahead of Father's Day, this felt like exactly the conversation we needed to have. Because the reality is, the numbers don't lie: 3 in 4 suicides in the UK are male Men are 3x more likely to die by suicide than women 5,717 people lost their lives to suicide in the UK in 2024 Men are conditioned to keep going. Keep providing. Keep it together. But that silence has a cost, and it's one too many families are paying. This episode is a step toward changing that. Whether you're a man who's been keeping it all in, or someone who loves one, this conversation is for you.   WATCH THE FULL CONVERSATION    • M's The Word | E12  Memory Making: How to ...   📣 If you or someone you know needs support: 🟢 Samaritans – 116 123 (free, 24/7) 🔵 CALM – 0800 58 58 58 🟠 ANDYSMANCLUB – andysmanclub.co.uk
