We recently had the opportunity to meet Eric Collins from “The Money Maker at an event called ‘Black Men on the Couch’. The event was a gathering focused on addressing mental health among men, particularly within the Black community. It provided a safe space for open conversations, sharing experiences, and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health.
It reinforced the significance of open dialogues around mental health and emphasised that seeking help and sharing your struggles are signs of strength, not weakness.
Let’s remember to continue these conversations, break the barriers, and support each other in our journey towards better mental well-being. Together, we can create a more inclusive and compassionate world.
Thank you, Eric, for the incredible opportunity to meet you and for being an advocate for positive mental health.
