Organisation Bio:
Mandem Meetup is a grassroots charity promoting, correcting and improving the conversation around men’s mental health and wellbeing. They provide an open, inclusive community for all those who identify as a man, integrating a range of social, holistic and more ‘traditional’ forms of clinical support, ranging from psycho-social interventions and recreational activities, to practical advice and guidance, as well as talking therapy and more.
