What the programme aims are:
Funded by the National Lottery, MenTalk aims to support men aged 18 and over across Coventry and Warwickshire with their emotional health and well-being. The programme will achieve this by increasing men’s resilience to deal with issues constructively, encouraging them to choose heathy lifestyle choices and decreasing their sense of isolation through sport and participation in group activities as well as 1-2-1 sessions with our staff.
Things we offer on our MENtalk sessions:
- Football

- Table Tennis
- Badminton
- Soft Tennis
By successfully achieving the above we aim to reduce/increase the following:

What our participants are saying…
‘It’s definitely improved my mental health and anxiety. I feel it’s made my confidence grow, I feel better now starting conversations and talking to people socially.’
‘I am much more active now and feel my fitness has improved immensely, which is now helping my confidence levels.’
‘Having a chat with the SBitC staff each week about the stresses in my life has been really helpful and has let me get things off my chest. The staff at MENtalk do not judge so it’s been great talking to them.’
