“I have something that I have wanted to write about for a long time; a deeply emotional, humiliating and traumatic issue that I kept locked away”
On the outside to his mates he put up a front. Outgoing, fun, always up for a good time. But to his family he was a man torn. He wanted help. We tried to get it. But he didn’t want anyone to know, especially his mates in the marines

Who remembers this from back in the day?? Yes, it’s the CALM MTV ad with our old CALM musician pals. For those of you that don’t know, we used to have this clip permanently embedded on the homepage of our old site. We found it while digging around in the CALM archives looking for some inspirations to get men talking.
It’s funny, our website might have changed but our message hasn’t.
Us guys aren’t naturally the most forthcoming about dealing with pressure and often bottle our problems up. It’s really encouraging that there is a charity like CALM to offer the help and support that a lot of men need when they feel low.

Any financial support you can give is hugely appreciated. We aren't funded by Government, and frankly struggle for every penny to keep our helpline going. We've recently been able to expand our helpline opening hours to seven days a week, and that was purely down to public donations.

Huge thanks.
