“Because as a daughter of a phenomenal father, wife of a magnificent man and mother to two precious sons, I felt compelled this #movember to shine a light and hold space because #menmatter

Each and every man arrived, shared and inspired with their story.

It was joy, courage and vulnerability, so beautiful. The response daily is encouraging and amplifies the need to keep talk and seek support as you don’t have to battle alone” – Jane Linley-Thomas

The men who took part in the project included content creators, chefs, businessmen, physiologists, fathers, musicians, actors, freelancers and so many more, including Jane’s 13-year-old son. Who gave his own tips for fellow men to use when facing a mental health break.
