Changing the Narrative for Men's Mental Health
Born from Loss, Built for Change
Following the sudden and unexpected loss of a beloved father, came the painful awareness of the silence surrounding men’s emotional struggles. Too many men feel they must carry the weight of the world alone. That’s what they were told they have to do.
“Be a man, man up, deal with it”.
Jack’s place is here to support changing that narrative – empowering men to seek the support they need without fear, shame or feeling emasculated.

Creating a mentally healthy workplace starts with understanding the unique challenges men face. Many men struggle in silence, feeling the pressure to ‘just cope.’ Employers have a critical role in breaking down these barriers by fostering open conversations, providing mental health resources, and offering tailored support for neurodivergent employees. By taking action, employers can improve productivity, retention, and the well-being of their male workforce.
Neurodiversity
Men with neurodivergent conditions, such as ADHD or autism, often face added complexities in both their personal and professional lives. Misunderstandings, stigma, and the challenges of being undiagnosed can make it hard to access the right support. This section is dedicated to empowering neurodivergent men to understand their strengths, seek the help they need, and navigate a world that may not always be designed with them in mind.
We believe in prevention. It’s time to teach men and boys that it’s OK to show emotion, to ask for help, and to prioritise their own well-being. By understanding the causes of poor mental health and addressing them early, we can create a world where men feel supported and valued. Ready to take the first step toward change?
