Lord Simon Woolley, George the Poet and Professor Jason Arday will be in conversation with counsellor, Rotimi Akinsete, to discuss how to maintain good mental health.
Black men are twice as likely to be sectioned as their White counterparts, and are also less likely to reach out for support if they encounter mental health struggles.
The aim of Black Men on the Couch is to help combat mental health stigma and to encourage all, but particularly men who identify as Black, to openly discuss their mental and emotional health and think about counselling and therapy as a form of support.
This event will also be livestreamed on YouTube via the University of Cambridge channel: https://www.youtube.com/@cambridgeuniversity
