Focus Month “March Male Carers Month”

This week I am so pleased to be able to share the launch of our first focus month, “March Male Carers Month”. We have a whole month of interviews and workshops, supporting the mental wellbeing of male carers. 

In the UK male unpaid carers represent nearly 50% of individuals providing care for a loved one or friend. However, they are less likely to self-identify as an unpaid or working carer, there is very little research into the emotional and psychological challenges experienced by male carers and there few groups specifically to support them.
 
 So, for our inaugural focus month, we want to shine a light on the mental wellbeing of male carers and have created a series of interviews with male unpaid and working carers and will be hosting two free one-hour workshops, specifically for male carers, discussing mental health first aid and mental fitness, run by two very experienced male coaches who specialise in male mental wellbeing.
