Community, Connection, Conversation

Our goals

Establish a community for anglophone men in Switzerland, creating companionship and connection.

To provide a safe confidential environment where men can talk openly about the chellenges that life throws at them.

To normalise conversations concerning mental health, with the aim of breaking the stigma that surrounds mental illness.

On 29.5.2018, Carl Wahlers was interviewed on WRS (World Radio Switzerland). This was part of one of the regular Health Matters segments, and is also available as a podcast.

Thanks to Michelle and WRS for their support in raising awareness!

Do not conform to the social conditioning which leads to pressure build up! Lets talk about It's a tough old world out there. Pressure is unrelenting in so many facets of our lives. Work, relationships, money, health, faith. All men will face challenges, attacks even, on all these areas of their lives. At some time or another, we will all be under the pump. Pressure builds, but you rely on yourself to cope, to manage, to exist. Stay strong, stiff upper lip. But the pressure continues to build, cracks appear in the dam. Please talk to someone before the dam breaks. Professional, family, friend.

In 1911 he said, referring to a German doctor

'I think this man might be useful to me – if my black dog returns. He seems quite away from me now – it is such a relief. All the colours come back into the picture.'

We want to listen. We want to be there to help you unload the stuff that contributes to the sadness impacting on yur life. DO NOT BE ALONE!
