This week we’re joined by Debbie Rodgers, brother of Sean Maloney who sadly passed away after committing suicide. 

 

Debbie has set up Sean’s Place after her concerns of the lack of support and services available for men who are suffering with mental health in Merseyside. The mental health and wellbeing center will provide a place for men to access free sessions and courses to improve mental wellbeing and simply be a safe haven for them to relax amongst like minded people in a supportive, non judgemental environment whilst removing the barrier of costs. 

 

The hope is that there will be opportunities to access sessions such as mindfulness and fitness classes due to medical research highlighting the benefits of this to mental wellbeing, there will also be skills sessions to promote confidence in the community and employability to those who may benefit from it.

 

Listen to her story this week and help Sean’s Place if you can.
