"Making Waves: The Tide Turns on Men's Mental Health Stigma"

Making Waves, a group in North Antrim, Northern Ireland, co-founded by Josh Morris, Ryan Millar, and Christian Archer, is tackling men's mental health stigma through regular social activities like paddleboarding, bike rides, and football. The initiative provides a supportive space for men to form friendships and discuss their mental health in a non-pressured environment, with a focus on community involvement and outdoor activities. The group's efforts reflect a response to the high prevalence of mental illness and suicide rates in the region, aiming to create accessible support for all men.
