Supporting Men’s Mental Health in Westminster
Trim Talk aims to get men talking about their feelings in local barbershops on Harrow Road.
The mental health of men is important. As a result, Westminster City Council has launched the #TrimTalk campaign in Westminster. Barbers at Raisa’s Barbers and others in North Paddington and Harrow Road are being trained to offer safe spaces for men to share their feelings.
According to a 2019 report by Mental Health Charity Mind, 2 in 5 men admit to regularly feeling worried or low and the number of men having suicidal thoughts has increased by 10% since 2011. With funding from the UKSP of £150,000, the programme is part of a wider council initiative aimed at promoting positive mental health among residents and sharing services.
Let’s break the stigma and support our community together.
