Webinar - Male hormones and men's mental health
2024-11-21 09:30 - 16:30 | Online
This live webinar will focus on exploring the intricate connection between men’s hormones and men’s mental health. This timely event will delve into the often overlooked but critical aspects of how hormonal fluctuations and imbalances can significantly impact mental well-being in men. Our facilitator for the day is the renowned Ryan Parke. Ryan is The Men’s Coach – a TEDx Speaker specialising in how hormones, lifestyle and goal setting impact male mental health.
Having created an evidence-based framework drawing upon over 1,000 sources and his extensive coaching experience, Ryan works with industry leaders, charities, and NHS Trusts who want to provide effective support to men. His 90-day coaching programme helps men to improve their mental health by using science-based strategies to achieve their life goals. Ryan will be joined by a fantastic line-up of speakers including expert endocrinologists, psychiatrists, and mental health professionals who will gather to share their insights, backed by the latest research, and engage in in-depth discussions. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the physiological and psychological interplay of hormones like testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones and their role in mood regulation, anxiety, depression, and overall mental health.
One of the primary objectives of the webinar is to shed light on the signs and symptoms of hormonal imbalances that are frequently misdiagnosed or dismissed in clinical settings. Presentations will cover how a variety of conditions and disorders can mimic or exacerbate mental health issues, leading to mismanagement or inadequate treatment of affected individuals. Through case studies and lived experience examples, the webinar will illustrate the importance of accurate diagnosis and the implementation of targeted treatment strategies that address both hormonal and psychological components for effective patient outcomes.
The interactive format of the webinar will facilitate a dynamic exchange of ideas and experiences among participants. Live Q&A sessions will allow attendees to pose questions directly to the experts, fostering a collaborative learning environment. This event is not only an educational opportunity but also a call to action for healthcare providers to integrate a more holistic approach in their practices. By emphasizing the significance of hormonal health in the context of mental health, the webinar aims to inspire ongoing research, better diagnostic tools, and more personalized treatment plans that can improve the quality of life for men experiencing these complex health issues.

Join us on International Men’s Day, for a free lunch, good company, and an interesting, inspiring speaker.

OR. . . simply take the time to take your foot off the gas for 40 minutes!
I look forward to meeting you, and thank you for your support.

Uncommon Man celebrates International Men’s Day 2025
On Sunday 16th November we’ll be heading to the beautiful Chess Valley, just a short train journey outside of London for a hike, some group shares and an opportunity to connect with other men.
A day to get outdoors, move our bodies, and connect with good people. This isn’t about how fast you can go or how fit you are, it’s about taking time out, breathing in fresh air, and walking side by side with other men who get it.
Expect good conversation, great views, and a reminder that none of us are walking this path alone.
We’ll be raising money this year for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) a suicide prevention charity that Josh is an ambassador for. All donations will go direct to CALM so please give what you can.
Details for on the day:

Please make your way to Rickmansworth station for 10.30am (post code WD3 1QY)
The route is 10 miles (16km) so a good challenge but we will be taking it at a steady pace. It will be cross country and could be muddy, so make sure you wear suitable footwear!
Rickmansworth station is served by the London Underground Metropolitan Line and you can also reach it on the Chiltern Railways overground line from London Marylebone.
There are multiple car parks in and around the station for those that are driving.
Prepare for all weather, pack water and snacks!

Fathers and mental health focus group
2025-11-18 13:00 - 14:00 | Online
Are you a dad with children aged under-5? Have you faced mental health problems? We’d love to hear your thoughts on health visiting services

The Fatherhood Institute is running this event with researchers at Thomas Coram Research Unit (part of London University).
We are looking into how health visiting services can support families with young children who are facing challenges – including when parents experience mental health issues, domestic violence, alcohol or substance use, or other difficulties.
The researchers have been talking to health visitors and parents in different parts of the country about their experiences. Now they want YOUR view, so they can better understand how health visiting can help dads facing difficulties.
If you’re a dad in England who has experience of mental health challenges while parenting a child under 5, or supporting your co-parent through mental health challenges, then please consider getting involved.
What better way to mark International Men’s Day 2025 than to help our vital public services provide support to men on their journeys through early fatherhood?

Book your ticket here on Eventbrite and we will then send you more information about the focus group, and a link to the online Teams event.
