Today is World Su***de Prevention Day, a reminder of the importance of talking openly about mental health.

For many men, asking for help can feel difficult. Sometimes, anger, stress, relationship difficulties or simply feeling like things are becoming too much can be signs that something needs attention.

At Shine, we believe support shouldn’t have to wait until things reach crisis point.

Our coaching gives men a space to understand what’s going on, develop practical tools and make positive changes, before things become more difficult to manage.

So today, let’s start the conversation.
How are you really doing?

And if you’re struggling, you don’t have to wait until things get worse to talk about it.

What role can older men play in helping young men understand and manage anger?

In this clip from the Safe Harbour Podcast, Shine founders Lian and Fiona share practical advice on how older generations can support young men to recognise their anger, understand what sits beneath it, and develop healthier ways to respond.

It’s a conversation about breaking the cycle and recognising that understanding anger is something we can all learn, at any age.

A huge thank you to Jamie for inviting Shine onto the podcast and for creating space for such an important conversation. 👏

What kind of 'man' can I be then?

In this video Joseph talks about the perceptions of being a ‘strong’ man and how it impacts boys/young men in 2024 society. Finally, he’ll present two solutions that can help improve the health of boys and men. I wonder if these feelings are the same in 2026??

Today is International Couples Day 💛

Relationships can be deeply affected by anger and conflict. When communication breaks down, it can create distance, frustration and tension between the people who matter most, but things can change.

At Shine, our coaching helps men understand their anger, manage it differently and build healthier ways of communicating and handling conflict.
And you don’t just have to take our word for it…

Our clients put it best. 👇

Whether you run yoga, art, mindful walking, ecotherapy or other wellbeing groups, creating a safe space can mean people feel comfortable opening up.

You’ll explore trauma-informed approaches, difficult conversations, boundaries, su***de awareness and how to respond when someone needs additional support.
