This week feeds into previous episodes about Community and talking in peer to peer setting, we are here to talk all about Andy’s Man Club.   In the room we have an always Gary from BIA as well as Dan Proverbs, founder of BIA, Jamie from BIA and Alex McClintock who is here representing Andy’s Man Club Scotland.

We talk about how Lockdown has seen a huge upsurge in uptake in peer to peer support, how all peer to peer support and other mental health organisations need to work more closely together, how important it is to have people with lived experience in this field and Alex takes us through what its like to attend a meeting.

We also touch on how the peer to peer support could be replacing the pub or the social clubs of yesteryear to give men a safe space to be around and connect with other men.  How the men that attend these groups are the role models we need and lead us in opening up and much much more.
