Welcome to episode 109 with Mel Bradley, who is the founder of Men Against Mountains and a men’s mental health advocate.
Men Against Mountains is an online platform for conversations and connections around men’s mental health and everything that comes with that topic.
Every Sunday, Mel hosts The Sunday Summit, a live conversation in which a different man each week joins her to tell his story and share his experiences.
Through these live sessions Mel has reached an incredible number of men and her page has connected people from all walks of life and many friendships and support networks have started from the conversations that she has.
This week I chat to Mel about her own mental health experience and where her passion for helping others comes from.
We chat about setting up her page and how she holds space for others in a way that allows them to be vulnerable and inspire others to do the same.
We also chat about the importance of asking for help, sharing stories and we get in to some of the reasons why so many men seem to be struggling in recent years.
I’ve known Mel through the online mental health community for some time so it was lovely to get to have a proper chat and hold space for her story like she does for so many others!
