The personal tales of 15 Guardian readers give an insight into the sorry state of formal mental health care in modern Britain.
On a more upbeat note, have you heard of the Men's Shed movement? No? Me neither.
Started in Australia 8 years ago, & now over here, it's a communal woodworking project aiming to support older guys who have experienced difficulties with mental health, loss of employment, retirement, & social isolation… There are now over 100 Sheds in the UK, with a project opening each week. So, check out a very interesting article & take a peek at UK Men's Sheds Association website . I'd love to see something like that somewhere like this!
