Feeling overwhelmed, under pressure, or like things are slipping? This session is about understanding how to stay grounded and in control when it matters most.

A free online men’s mental health support group with James Elliott MSc. This session focuses on building resilience and handling pressure without burning out.

Uncovering workplace pressures men face and why they struggle to open up about mental health.

This session is open to anyone who wants to understand why so many men struggle to talk, ask for help, or even hint that something is wrong. We hear the same phrase all the time. Men do not talk. The reality is that many do try to talk, but they are not always heard.

Join Dan Somers from MANUP? as he teams up with Ronnie and the crew for an evening packed with laughs, conversation and plenty of wine. The event brings together entertainment and purpose, using humour and honesty to raise awareness about men’s mental health.

MANUP? will be part of this April Masterclass, focused on boys in the care system and the long-term impact on men.

A free online men’s mental health support group with James Elliott MSc. This session focuses on understanding how your brain reacts under pressure, stress, and emotion.

This final session focuses on reflection. Not forced positivity or big life changes, but taking stock of what has been learned, noticed, or shifted over the programme.

This session focuses on thinking patterns that drive anxiety, anger, and withdrawal.

Men often believe their thoughts are facts. This session helps separate the two.

Communication is not just about talking. This session looks at how men communicate under stress, in conflict, and when they do not feel heard.

When men feel lost or stuck, values are often missing or unclear. This session focuses on helping men reconnect with what actually matters to them, rather than what they think should matter.

MANUP? will be in Ipswich as part of a wellbeing event for fostering and kinship carers across Suffolk.

This is not a traditional stall-style setup. We are there for one reason. To engage men properly, have real conversations, and capture honest video content that reflects something we know to be true. Men do talk, when the conditions are right.

The session brings together lived experience as both a patient and someone working closely with men’s mental health, to highlight a simple but often overlooked reality.

Men are often judged harshly, externally and internally. This session looks at how judgement shapes behaviour, silence, and self-worth.

Acceptance is often misunderstood as giving up. In reality, it is about recognising what is within your control and what is not.

Stress is often treated as something men should just cope with. This session looks at what stress actually is, how it builds, and why ignoring it usually makes things worse.

These men-only group sessions are designed to give men space to slow down and actually look at what is going on for them, without pressure, labels, or forced talking.

Too many men walk into a GP appointment or meet a mental health worker and come out feeling unheard. Sometimes it is because they held back. Sometimes it is because the professional missed the point. This session aims to bridge that gap.

Late January can hit harder than people admit. The excitement of the new year has worn off, the pressure to reinvent yourself has faded, and the reality of normal life returns with a thud. Money is tight, days are dark, and plenty of men feel flat, restless or fed up without any obvious reason. That is exactly why The MANUP? Hour is running again.

Every January we are told that Blue Monday is the most depressing day of the year. The reality is less dramatic and more uncomfortable. Blue Monday is a marketing concept, not a medical or psychological fact.

January hits differently for a lot of men. The pressure of the new year creeps in, routines still feel off, and everyone around you seems obsessed with resolutions, diets, gym memberships and pretending they have life sorted for the next twelve months.

December can be rough. Routines are out the window, blokes are stretched thin and sometimes you just need to talk to someone who gets it. That’s where The MANUP? Hour comes in.

After the success of our previous Why Do Men Die by Suicide? events across the UK, which have all sold out, we are bringing this powerful and eye-opening session to Manchester following a huge number of requests.

James will walk us through how the people around us affect our mental state – and how to take back control without kicking off or going quiet. Expect practical tips, a bit of humour, and no fluff.

MANUP? has been invited to take part in the RCN SOM Occupational Health Nursing Conference, now in its eighth year. This annual event, jointly run by the Royal College of Nursing and the Society of Occupational Medicine, brings together professionals who work to protect and promote the health and wellbeing of employees in the workplace.

A surge of nerves can sharpen your focus and keep you safe. The same surge can also grind you down, steal sleep and convince you that disaster is around every corner. This men-only session is fully funded by MANUP?, so there is no cost at all and you may join with your camera off or a first name only.

Mark Brooks OBE, who will be joining us for this MANUP? Talks session is the driving force behind International Men’s Day UK and one of the few people who have made these awareness efforts meaningful.

For Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, MANUP? was invited by Santander Bank to take part in their Sip & Support series. This special edition focused on breaking down stigma, encouraging open conversations, and showing the real impact of listening to men.

Confidence is not a gift handed out at birth, it is a skill you build like muscle. This men-only session is fully funded by MANUP?, so there is no cost and you can join with your camera off or a first name only.
