Let’s ignite change and build a brighter future for men everywhere.
BREAK THE SILENCE. SAVE LIVES.
Steve approached Dawn about a different book he’d been part of and wanted to know the best way to get it published. Having seen the #ManUp Series of books she was working on, he wanted to know more. One conversation led to another and before they knew it, Steve had become the founder of the Tough To Talk Men’s Health and Suicide Prevention Charity.
Steve wanted to know the best ways to make money from the book and how it could be used to raise awareness and funds to fund this much needed work around men’s mental health. Combined with his own corporate expertise, Steve has now produced a Tough To Talk #ManUp Journal organises suicide prevention courses, #ToughTalks and is partnering with businesses, the Football Association and Police Forces across England and Wales.
All proceeds from the sales of the #ManUp anthology goes to support the charity, and allows Steve and his team to squash the stigma for men to talk about their mental health challenges. Help reduce the number of men taking their own lives across the world.
