Trigger warning : Discussions include experiences of suicide.
In this heartfelt conversation, Stu and Alex, the founder and Chief Development Officer of Tough Enough to Care, share their personal journeys and the mission behind their charity. The discussion delves into Stu's life in male-dominated environments, the tragic loss of friends to suicide, and the realisation that mental health issues are not a sign of weakness.
Alex details his own struggles with mental health, self-harm, and the turning point initiated by Stu's candid social media post.
Together, they explain how Tough Enough to Care supports individuals through peer groups, text services, and educational talks, focusing on male-dominated spaces like sports clubs and workplaces. The founders emphasize the importance of open communication, recognising signs of distress, and breaking generational stigma around mental health.
They also highlight the innovative approach of their Flaming Unicorns rugby team, which uses sport to foster mental health conversations and build support networks.
