Intervention | Comment |
---|---|
Intervention 1: Men-Tality | “I only hope that more people would participate in this, as mental well-being is often neglected” |
“Good overview of mental health issues and ways to cope and where to get help” | |
“I found it enjoyable, FIFA is a great way to get people together” | |
“Although I can see how some of the strategies discussed may help some people, in my case they seem unlikely to work” | |
“Was useful, learnt new techniques, forced me to reflect more on my own wellbeing” | |
“Would have been useful to go through ways of ‘nudging’ us to do beneficial activities for mental health so they become a habit” | |
“To take care of yourself is taking care of your mental health. This is the first and most important step to begin with if you want to improve” | |
Intervention 2: Psychological strength for men | “Not sure that 2x2 hour workshop brings big changes, but the atmosphere was good” |
“Very good overall” | |
Intervention 3: Man Cave | “I had only come for one session, so perhaps I most likely wasn’t able to benefit too much as far as mental health is concerned but I certainly did leave happier after my session” |
“I didn’t know how I could have engaged more beyond my lengthy discussion with one of the organisers, apart from that I was too tentative to get involved” | |
“I have no strong opinions. I feel it may be useful for some more vulnerable guys, but I believe men should be able to deal with their problems themselves and these kinds of things don’t appeal to most men” |
