Orderly Headway Men’s Support Wire
Life doesn’t divide itself neatly into categories of challenges causing “mental health”. What is that, anyway? Frankly, it’s not even good English. Life is real, and for some of us it’s an increasingly difficult place to navigate. We see men struggling with realities every day, often alone and, too often, victims of our own reluctance to share. I know. I’m one of them. Divorce creates loneliness. Bereavement affects sleep. Retirement can remove purpose. Money problems affect relationships. Drinking can start as coping and become the problem.
The Men’s Support Wire brings together practical advice and support from reputable UK organisations in one place. It is a continuously updated, carefully curated stream of useful information for men dealing with the things that life throws at you — relationships, isolation, loss, money, work, health, addiction, mental health challenges and major life changes.
It’s useful things, from people who know what they’re talking about.
