MENS' MENTAL HEALTH
We also offer a workshop/programme to support men's mental health in the workplace. This programme creates a safe space for open conversations, helps break down stigmas, and equips your team with practical tools to get men talking!
By acknowledging the unique challenges they face, you can create an inclusive environment where men feel safe and understood. To learn more about how this could benefit your team, book a chat with us today.

More about the Laughlogy mental health workshop
What is the difference between mental health and mental illness?
We can have good mental health, poor mental health or be somewhere in between at any given time. Mental illnesses are health conditions, which involve changes in our thinking, emotions or behaviours.
How are mental health and wellbeing related?
Why work with Laughology?
We use humour to break the ice and provide a platform which enables people to have frank, open conversations.
This session is an opportunity to seek out practical ideas which can be taken back to the workplace in order to create a supportive culture around mental health.
