Andy's Man Club has saved lives. I wouldn't be here without it, and I know guys that are in that same boat that would be able to save their lives.

Craig, Anthony, and Chris share personal stories and insights, shedding light on why it's crucial for men to have a safe space to express their struggles. They emphasize the power of simply talking and how it can be a game-changer in breaking down the stigmas surrounding male mental health.
Andy’s Man Club isn’t just for those in crisis; it’s a community for any man who feels the need to talk. With groups in Exeter, Torbay, Plymouth, and beyond, and even online options, support is more accessible than ever. The facilitators discuss how these groups operate and the incredible impact they've had on countless lives.
