SUMMARY: 50:50 in conversation with Brian Ballantyne
DESCRIPTION:The 19th November is International Men’s Day. For us here at 50:50\, we’re big believers that gender equality won’t be possible without *everyone* being involved.

Author of Confessions of a Working Father and one of the founders of Men for Inclusion. \nThis International Men’s Day we’ll be exploring male stereotype threat\, the challenges of having to conform to society’s idea of what a man should be and the importance of male allies in the battle for better gender balance. \nJoin us live at 12:30pm as we chat to Brian about his experiences and why he’s an active advocate for gender equality. \nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMucuGqqzkrGNyW54OyNY6d2O11sRO7bDoq?utm_content=buffer5046e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

SUMMARY:Bucks Student Union: Strong Men "A definitive guide to masculinity\, manhood\, and being a man"
DESCRIPTION:To mark International Men’s Day\, “Alpha males”*  Dr Matthew Smith and Dr Piers Worth from the University’s Centre for Positive Psychology** explore what it means to be a strong man in the 21st-century. \nDrawing upon their own experiences\, those of a range of positive male role models\, along with key ideas from positive psychology\, Matthew and Piers will help us all to better appreciate the challenges of modern manhood and suggest how a more nuanced understanding of ‘strengths’ is key to us living our best lives\, whether we are male or female. Most of all\, Piers and Matthew promise to inspire and entertain in equal measure.* \n*Spoiler alert: this title\, and the talk itself\, may well be littered with a healthy dose of irony. \nThis event will be hosted via MS Teams.

SUMMARY:ITV Loose Women - International Men's Day Special
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in Loose Women’s 21-year history\, the show will be rebranding as Loose Men for one day only\, with an all-male panel hosting a special episode to coincide with International Men’s Day on November 19. \nMarvin Humes will anchor the show and be joined by a panel of famous faces including the voice of Love Island\, Iain Stirling\, multi-platinum recording star Ronan Keating\, and radio and TV presenter\, Roman Kemp. \nEarlier this year\, Loose Women launched their Stand by Your Men campaign\, which is part of their award-winning mental health campaign Lighten The Load. The campaign focuses on male mental health and shines a light on how important it is for men to ask for help if they are struggling. \nAs well as sharing their own personal experiences\, the Loose Men will be delving into the biggest issues of the day and also interviewing one of Hollywood’s most popular leading men\, Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey. \nMarvin Humes said:  “With everything going on in the world right now there’s never been a more important time for men to be open and honest about their mental health. I’m looking forward to anchoring the first ever Loose Men and raising awareness of the importance of men opening up like women do.” \nIain Stirling said: “We know that men typically find it harder to discuss their anxieties\, especially with other blokes. I’m looking forward to changing the conversation and can’t wait to join the other Loose Men. Hopefully we can inspire any men watching to talk about their feelings too and not keep things bottled up. Also a huge thank you to everyone at Loose Women for allowing us to use their platform for this very worthwhile cause!” \nRonan Keating said: “I’ve long been a big fan of the Loose ladies\, so it’s an honour to become a Loose Man for the day. I’m looking forward to joining Marvin\, Iain and Roman and delving into all the topics\, as well as tackling those important issues us blokes often shy away from talking about. It’s going to be a great show!” \nRoman Kemp said: “When Loose Women asked me to join their first all-male panel\, I jumped at the chance. The ladies have left us very big shoes to fill\, but we’ll do them proud. I can’t wait to enjoy some classic Loose laughs and shine a light on the importance of us guys opening up about mental health.” \nLoose Women editor Sally Shelford said: “We’ve had several men join us as honorary Loose Men over the years\, but this is the first time we’ve handed over the entire show to the guys – and it’s for a very important reason.” \nOur Stand By Your Men campaign\, which is part of our award-winning mental health campaign Lighten The Load\, has been raising awareness about how vital it is that men talk as openly about their struggles as we do on Loose Women. International Men’s Day is the perfect opportunity to bring that message to the forefront and our Loose Men Marvin\, Iain\, Roman and Ronan are just the panel to do it. They’ll also be joined by Hollywood legend Matthew McConaughey\, in what’s set to be a show like no other.” \nCatch the Loose Men on Thursday 19 November from 12.30pm on ITV\, STV and the . \nWatch Loose Women weekdays from 12.30pm on ITV\, STV and the . And don’t forget you can find us on YouTube\, Facebook\, Instagram and Twitter too.

SUMMARY:Lancashire Recovery College - Recovery in Focus
DESCRIPTION:Recovery in Focus – Online \nProduced in partnership with Positive Focus\, this session will look at the merits of photography as a tool for maintaining well being. Photography as a hobby can help those who suffer from anxiety and depression\, experience the peaceful beauty of creation. All aspects of photography can help separate you from common modern day thoughts\, helping to focus and meditate on the peaceful harmony that exists in photography. Although it is nice to just visit a park or other recreational area\, photography forces an individual to narrow his or her thoughts on a specific subject while blocking all else out . This forum has been developed in recognition of International Men’s Day. \nThe course will last one hour and will run on Thursday 19th of November at 1:30pm . The session will be run via Microsoft Teams. \nPositive Focus \nPositive Focus is a non profit community group constituted in 2018 where the majority of our supporters including our committee have related experience with mental health. Our core work is to support those who suffer and have suffered from mental health issues. We also provide support for carers in the same field by giving respite in the form of project courses and quality events. Based in Chorley\, we serve those with issues such as depression\, anxiety and isolation throughout the Lancashire area. We have grown from a group of photographers and professionals finding that our skills can make a difference in using photography as a platform to enhance one’s quality of life. Photography has been proven as a substantial aid in taking the mind to a better place with the narrative of expressing and handling one’s feelings. By separating everyday events\, looking through a looking glass and capturing the wonder and splendour the world has to offer\, the imagination and use of this long standing hobby can assist people to take respite from depressing thoughts. It can also lift confidence by being involved with people socially. We have the skills required and are here to help. \nLancashire Recovery College provides a learning service that works alongside experts by experience and professionals by experience\, to co-produce courses that enhance wellbeing and social opportunities in your community. \nThis co-produced course has been developed and will be delivered alongside people who truly understand and can share their lived experience. We believe this approach captures the true values of recovery Hope\, Opportunity and Control. \nFAQs \n*This course is run online through Microsoft Teams. There is no requirement to have Teams pre-loaded onto your device as this should download automatically when you click on the link provided.
