​Triple H will be broadcasting a special show for International Men’s Day this Saturday 19th November between 12 and 3pm
 
Lucy Dahill will host the conversation around this year’s theme Stop Male Suicide by having conversations with a variety of people who have either a lived experience, are working in industries with high suicide rates, are people who are speaking up in order to be the change they want to see in the world by starting in their own unique way.

 We can take the opportunity afforded to us by this day to make a difference to men and boys.
 
The International Men’s day Website calls for
  • Improving Relations between men and women
  • Addressing the problems and Challenges men face
  • Promoting gender equality
  • Highlighting positive male role models
  • Creating a safer, better world
 
We hope what you will find is a show that touches on all those things and takes them all deeper to show we don’t’ just want a better we want true, real, honest, which means we sometimes have to be raw and vulnerable. As you can see there are many services that can support in this process.
