Join The Conversation
Every Other Thursday
We are thrilled to announce our Talk Club Sessions, a way of providing a safe, supportive space for men to connect, share, and listen.
These sessions will take place every other Thursday, offering a consistent opportunity to open up about mental health and foster meaningful conversations.
It's about the Conversations that we have - Being open, sharing, resonating, it's how we all heal together.

What is Talk Club?
Talk Club is an initiative that promotes positive mental fitness through conversation. At its core, it’s a safe space for men to share how they’re feeling, listen to others, and gain valuable tools to improve their mental well-being. It’s not therapy or a lecture—just men talking and listening, helping each other in the most human way possible.
The sessions will follow a structured yet simple format. Participants answer key questions such as:
How are you feeling out of 10?
What’s been good for you this week?
What can you do to feel better next week?
This approach encourages self-reflection and group accountability, building a sense of community and shared purpose.
Why TALK CLUB?
TALK CLUB was created after one of our Founders, Ben Akers, lost his childhood best friend, Steve Yates, to suicide in 2014. Struggling to process his grief, Ben set out to make ‘Steve‘, a documentary about male mental health. TALK CLUB is a legacy of that project
These sessions provide a space to:
- Speak freely without fear of judgment.
- Listen to others and learn from shared experiences.
- Build resilience and mental fitness in a supportive group.
A Step Forward for Men’s Mental Health
The Men’s Room project has always been about creating platforms for men to share their stories, like our award-winning film Men Don’t Talk? and The Monologues of Men. Talk Club is the next step in that journey—bringing men together regularly to explore life’s highs and lows.
We’ve seen the power of sharing. During the filming of Men Don’t Talk?, men who were initially hesitant opened up to share deeply personal stories that resonated with others. This openness fosters trust, healing, and connection—values that Talk Club will continue to champion.
Why Join Us?
We know how tough it can be to open up, especially for men. Whether you’re carrying life’s daily stresses or something heavier, Talk Club is here to remind you that you’re not alone.
