Taking care of men's mental health and well-being
At Back and Forth Mens Mental Health, we understand the importance of men's mental health and the challenges men face in seeking support. That's why we have created a supportive community where men can come together to share their experiences, build strong connections, and promote overall well-being.
Following the tragic passing of Marc Forth in April 2023, the idea for this group was formed. Men struggle to talk and sometimes become so consumed in their thoughts, they only see one way out. With the kind permission of Marcs family, his named was used to form the group, so that his memory and legacy will live on. If the group only helps one person to speak out, and get help, then it has been a success.
In loving memory of Marc Forth

Random fact about yourself: I once met Lemar in a gents toilet and shook his hand…….only after he left did I realise the hand dryer wasn’t running and his hands weren’t wet!
I've created this group to help men struggling with their mental health. My goal was to organise regular walks and events where men can come together and feel comfortable talking, in confidence and without judgement. I myself have gone through dark times and lost those close to me through suicide because they didn't feel like they had anyone to turn to.
