John was introduced to the Team Talk group by a friend. After a year of attending various virtual and physical sessions, he's let us know how the project has helped him.

"Before I joined, I was rather stressed with work which was having an impact on my home life. I was keen on doing something for my mental health and I was speaking to my friend about my struggles. They mentioned Team Talk to me.

"I decided to give the sessions a try, and now I have a much greater awareness of the importance of mental health. Since joining the programme I have undertaken more activities outside of work to better manage my own stress.

"Team Talk has been absolutely fantastic, especially throughout the pandemic, It has been really great to be part of a group that is there to support each other, even when we couldn't meet. The Zoom meetings and catch ups were really effective, and we're all grateful to Luke and Chris who run the sessions.

"Now we are slowly emerging from the pandemic, I have been a lot calmer outside of work. My life is in a good place and myself and my partner are getting ready to move into our own house.

"The Team Talk community is a fantastic group to join where the importance of men’s health cannot be understated. It has been a pleasure to get to know the group members for well over a year now!"
