Next session: TuesdayHi, my name is Stuart and I am the Walk Leader for Port Solent. Having suffered from mental health issues myself and feeling isolated, I was in a position where I didn’t want to talk in groups and shut myself away. I worked hard within myself to regain confidence to express my feelings and emotions to the point where I started to look for groups that I could attend. Having searched the internet it was great to see so many groups that help and support mental health and that’s where I stumbled across MWAT. Reading further I was inspired to get involved as there are no walk locations within my area and like myself, I’m sure there are others that feel alone, would like to start to socialise but may not be ready to openly talk about their mental health. Tim Skinner (The Apprentice) also gave me some inspiration to actively give some time to others as he has and is doing similar walks.
Next session: Friday 17th July, 10:30 – 11:30 Please note this group will not be running during August and will return in September. Group Facilitator: Amalia
Hi, my name is Chris. Many men struggle to talk about their mental health, myself included. Traditional support routes can feel intimidating or inaccessible. A simple walk creates a relaxed environment where conversation happens more naturally, side by side rather than face to face. This group is here to help tackle isolation, build a sense of community, and encourage honest conversations while also promoting physical wellbeing. By bringing men together regularly, we can create supportive connections, reduce stigma around mental health, and provide an early outlet before issues become more serious. Ultimately, it’s about creating a space where no one feels they have to deal with things alone.
Hi. My name is Stephen and I am the walk leader for Quinton. The men walking and talking idea was introduced to me by my father-in-law who attends another group. I thought this would be something good to be involved with. Generally, men don’t talk to each other about their feelings or emotions. However, once I had joined the a group in Quinton and spoke to other men my age and younger, I found that we all need to talk about what's on your mind and just unwind. We all have stresses and different things going on in our lives. It doesn’t matter how small, once spoken about it does help. Just even chatting about football, sport, whatever. After the group had disbanded, I started to think I should do something to get this group back up and running again. I'm sure that other members feel the same way also. This is why I’ve made it my mission to restart the group and hopefully reach out to more people with this message: you are not alone, and it’s okay to feel this way. We can meet up, have a chat, and have a pleasant walk at the same time.
