09 Scott Johnson: Men, Depression and Walking Communities
Scott Johnson founded the proper blokes club a very simply action step: he started going for some walks! He took videos of himself walking in his favourite spots, talking about some of the mental health challenges he faced and simply asked if anyone else was also struggling and would they like to join him? Only one person showed up for his inaugural group walk but fast forward to today, he has a small army of walking men, sharing their stories, seeking support and fellowship, with groups springing up over London: The Proper Blokes Club has arrived and is one to watch!
Key points from the interview:
The simplest idea that has snowballed into something magnificent for mental health.
The mental health challenges he has faced.
How immediate medication is not necessarily the go to.
The systemic problem with the family court system
How "letting go and allowing the unfolding" worked better than struggle and strain.
Why a great ally for men’s mental health ..,,,.could be women!
