Men's Health Active

Our Men’s Health Active campaign supports male students (and those who identify as male) to use sport and physical activity to look after their mental health.

There's no strength in silence

Run by a team of student ambassadors supported by University of Nottingham Sport, our Men’s Health Active campaign is for male students and those who identify as male studying at the University of Nottingham. Our goal is that male-identifying students feel confident to use sport and talking together to augment their mental health, without stigma, fear, or judgement. 

Our Talk Shops

The Men's Health Active team run a series of Talk Shops, with support from male staff from the University's Counselling Service. The sessions are an hour long and give you the opportunity to talk about subjects that are important to you in a supportive, safe and confidential environment.

There is no need to sign up before each event, everyone can turn up on the day. Details of the our 2023/2024 Talk Shop events are listed below.

I think that the Talk shops are a great space to be seen and heard, and to be able to connect with others in a non-judgemental, friendly space.
