Parenting Columnist Amy Bell takes a look at toxic masculinity and how we all shape the way boys and girls are raised. buff.ly/3Rhyg7E

Excellent report on suicide-highly recommend for all who work with men. "The magic key to male suicide prevention could be built around meeting men’s actual needs; recognising/accepting who they are, not who the system thinks they should be & what they should have to accept."

We can't fill nonmaterial needs with material things. #wellbeingwednesday

Still reflecting on Tuesday’s meeting at St Werburghs City Farm. We discussed, amongst other things, male suicide, whether we find it easier to offer or to ask for help, what gets in the way and why, and how we might support each other to feel more able to both offer and to ask for help..

Cheers..
