About the event

Swindon Mindful Employer Network - November 2025
Welcoming mindful employers to join us for discussions around the topic of men's health

About this Event

Swindon Mindful Employer Network presents:


Opening Up: Understanding Men’s Mental Health

Join fellow mindful employers from Swindon and the local area for vital discussions on mental health and employee wellbeing in the workplace.

As part of our Swindon Mindful Employer Network series, in partnership with Swindon & Gloucestershire Mind and Swindon Borough Council, this event will focus on Men’s Mental Health and explore the unique mental health struggles that men face, aligning with Men’s Mental Health Month, ‘Movember’ and International Men’s Day taking place in November. Gain insights, hear real-world experiences, and engage in meaningful conversations to create a supportive work environment.


Why Attend?

Poor mental health impacts men and women differently. Expectations of masculinity means that men are less likely to open up to others about their feelings, worries and issues affecting them, which often leads to bottling up emotions and suffering in silence.

It is important to explore how your business can foster a workplace that is informed, supportive, and thriving. This event offers insights and practical strategies from expert speakers to better support positive mental health at work for men, and how to recognise and address the stigmas and unique mental health issues that men experience.



Key Takeaways:
  • Increase understanding of men’s mental health
  • Identify healthy coping strategies
  • Explore mental health services for men
  • How to encourage open conversations
  • Understand self-care strategies and healthy outlets for stress
  • How to foster a supportive work environment for men



Our Expert Speakers:

Jeff Tucker from Best Mates will share how the charity is creating safe spaces, conversations, and connections that ensure no one faces life’s toughest moments alone - and how these approaches can help us better recognise and support mental health in the workplace.

Further speakers will be announced shortly


Who Should Attend?

Anyone in the Swindon region and further afield is welcome to join us! The event will be of particular interest to:

  • Business owners, HR professionals, and team leaders
  • Mental Health, Wellbeing & EDI champions in the workplace
  • Anyone looking to build a supportive and informed work culture
  • Participants in men’s mental health support groups in the community
