Do the men in your life need more help?

I often watch everyone around me, particularly at the school gate. I see mums scuttling off to work, some chatting long after the drop off, and then I see the dads, often scuttling themselves to get to work, but I see their smile and nod, but know our conversation is unlikely to go any further. And I wonder, how are they feeling, lonely perhaps? Isolated? Like I did when I moved to a new area. what did I do? I attended every coffee morning, every mum and baby group and after a year I had begun to make good friends. Accessing support is one of the keys to good mental health, happiness and well being. Support comes in different forms, friends, family, colleagues, councillors, coaches, even reading uplifting books or inspiring articles. Arguably us women are more likely to access support, we are more social as beings, finding resources through difficult times, whereas our men folk can find themselves stuck in a job/career trap bound by financial constraints instead of living the life/changing jobs, taking time out to find their true path. Having found myself in that position, changing a career because of wanting to despite huge financial impact , it's been tough, really tough, and true change can take a year, but with the right support and a vision in mind, and the magic ingredient...'jump', it's been done and I am truly much happier. . If you or someone you know needs to work through unhappiness, loneliness or uncertainty, then please do get in touch, spreading a little support, it's all out there, it's just accessing it....we are all connected and here to help...............have a thoughtful day.
