What is Brothers in Need?

Brothers in Need is a non-profit community for men's mental health. Our aim is simple: a safe, welcoming space where you can reach out, talk, and know you are not facing things alone.

Talk

Speak openly, at your own pace and without judgement. Or just listen until you're ready.

Connect

Meet men who understand that life can be hard, online and face to face.

Support

Find trusted information and the right routes to professional help when you need it.

Looking after your wellbeing

Five small steps,
every single day.

Simple, evidence-based habits from the NHS that help you feel better and more able to cope.

01

Connect with others

A text, a call, a brew with a mate. Good relationships are one of the strongest protectors of your wellbeing.

02

Be physically active

Walk, cycle, kick a ball about. Moving your body lifts your mood, which is why we walk every Wednesday.

03

Learn something new

A new skill, a recipe, fixing something that's broken. Learning builds confidence and a sense of purpose.

04

Give to others

Small acts count: a kind word, your time, a helping hand. Helping someone else is good for them and for you.

05

Take notice

Pause and pay attention to the present: your thoughts, your body, the world around you. It helps you understand yourself.

Every week

Wednesday
Walk & Talk

A relaxed walk, a chat and some company. There's no pressure to talk about anything you don't want to. Sometimes just getting out and being around others can help.
