Next session: WednesdayHi, my name is Tim and I am the walk leader for Walsall Men Walking & Talking. I am a former primary school headteacher and currently work for a charity, Walsall Community Church. I have developed a passion for supporting men's mental health since the loss of two friends to suicide in recent years. The vision behind the Walsall Men Walking and Talking group, is to create a safe space where men can chat and find hope, purpose and a genuine friendship. Thank you

Hi, I'm Jack, 31, a veteran and former prison officer who is originally from Peterborough. I moved to Wiltshire during my time in the Army, where I met my wife. Since then, we’ve built our life together and have lived in Wiltshire and Dorset ever since. I’m a proud dad to three amazing children, all of whom have hearing loss, and being there for them is the most important part of my life. Men’s mental health is important to me. I’ve seen first-hand how mental health can affect individuals and families, and I believe it’s something we need to talk about more. I understand the importance of getting outside, going for a walk, and spending time in the outdoors to clear your head and stay balanced. I enjoy football, training in the gym, and staying active as part of a healthy and positive lifestyle. I welcome you along and look forward to meeting you & sharing our stories.
Hi, my name is Jason and I am walk leader for this group. I work in the construction industry supply chain and in August 2023 found myself being made redundant, I felt low and unworthy but pushed on and was offered a new position days later. A month into new position guess what it happened again, twice in three months. Here’s where I changed, it absolutely battered me, could not get out of bed didn’t want to wake up and felt a let down to everyone around me. The thoughts I was having about not being here anymore just made it worse. I don’t have the strength to carry on, my thoughts turned to how I was going to end it all. I wasn’t me anymore and who would want me ( my thoughts ) I spoke with my wife about how I felt and she was basically on 24hr watch checking in on me throughout the day whilst I was at home, hiding all medications/tablets - anything that I could harm myself with. I eventually got another job which is my current job but I struggled to engage and be enthusiastic about it and anything else. My wife spoke to a friend about a MWAT group she had seen in Kenilworth and that I should go, that was a big fat no from me when my wife suggested it. Her friend then spoke to me directly and basically told me off, I then decided to go that week. Reluctantly, I turned up in the carpark and just sat there, the walk leader Mark looked over so I was kinda forced to get out. Here’s where my life changed. I walked up to Mark and he asked if I was Jason, I said I was and subsequently broke down in tears. We chatted and met some of the others and went on the walk. I have to say we spoke about completely random stuff as we walked around and I felt loads better. Mark and the group made me feel normal again. I took the plunge to go on the zoom call on a Tuesday, which at the time was hosted by Lee Anderson and again I broke down online in front of eight guys, I was a mess but Lee normalised these emotions and after the meeting he pointed me in the direction of the Lighthouse Charity for counselling. I have been attending the Kenilworth group for nearly a year and it has saved my life. I had some very difficult things to deal with but the whole MWAT community has helped me through it. I have recently completed the Mental Health First Aid course and am actively helping others, I now feel ready to give back. I could have just given up and not been here anymore but MWAT was there. I look forward to meeting you on the walk. Thank you 🙏
