In the USA suicide is the nations 10th-leading cause of death, in 2019 white males accounted for 69% of suicide deaths, these shocking figures have made us all wake up to the fact we need to encourage men to talk about their feelings. For some, the stigma and taboo around mental health make it a difficult subject to speak about or admit to due to shame of being seen to be weak, especially in men.

What can you do about it? What steps can you take, that could make a real difference to the men around you - and point them toward the right help? Tom Chapman is the founder of mental health charity the Lions Barber Collective (LBC), set up to raise awareness for the prevention of suicide. This book uses the LBCs established training approach, to gives you the tools you need to play a supportive role and listen effectively. This effective Four Pillars approach was created with the help of psychiatrists and mental health professionals and teaches you to:

  • RECOGNISE the signs that someone may need some help or may be suffering with their mental health
  • ASK the right questions to get them to open up.
  • LISTEN with empathy and without judgement.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    Tom Chapman is an award-winning barber, author, public speaker and international educator. He spends his time delivering talks at universities, schools and events, attending industry shows and appearing in the media, trying to reduce the stigma surrounding male mental health problems and suicide and campaigning for improved mental health facilities and suicide prevention. Tom is a global barber director and has travelled the world cutting hair onstage in front of thousands of people, from LA to Hawaii to Brazil, Australia and beyond.

    In September 2015, Tom founded the Lions Barber Collective (LBC), which started as a group of international barbers raising awareness about suicide prevention and mental wellbeing. He believes that the barbers shop is a great, safe place for men to talk.

    In 2017, the LBC launched BarberTalk, a training tool for hair professionals across the globe to Recognize, Ask, Listen and Help those in their chairs. From the success of this course, the LBC expanded these programmes, which are now endorsed by Habia (recognized by the UK government as a standard-setting body) and are part of their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course. Tom has plans to turn the model into a regulated, non-industry-specific qualification that will be recognized globally.

    Tom has received a Points of Light award for his outstanding volunteer work from the UK Prime Minister and received a royal endorsement when Prince William requested to meet him in 2019. He is the author of The Barber Boom (2018), BarberTalk (2019) and a childrens book, The Mighty Lions and the Big Match (2021). He lives in Torquay, UK with his wife and two boys.

    Toms vision is of a world free from suicide, and to achieve this he is striving to create non-clinical, non-judgemental safe spaces where people feel comfortable to open up and speak about their mental health, and from where they can be signposted to support and information.

    FOREWORD

    This excellent little book will give you the tools you need to help someone you know talk to you. It will help you encourage men to work through problems by learning to open up about their mental health something that, historically, men have struggled to do.

    By following the Steps in this book, anyone can learn techniques that will encourage discussion, which is the first step toward healing issues like depression and anxiety.

    I am concerned about male suicide. Although still relatively rare, you might be shocked to learn that its the most common cause of death in men under 49, and is almost twice the rate of women. And I believe we can do so much more to help men who are struggling with their mental health: it begins with a conversation.

    Tom and the Lions Barber Collective have paved the way. They show that ordinary people with a little bit of training can do extraordinary things, guiding people through their mental health problems and create open conversations.

    CONTENTS

    INTRODUCTION

    Its likely youve picked up this book because youre worried about someone you know perhaps a husband, partner, friend, son or colleague. You have noticed that theyre down, struggling, anxious but they also wont (or cant) articulate it. You dont know what to say; how to start the conversation. And you dont want to make things worse, insult or embarrass them.

    Mens mental health is a complex and, at times, intimidating topic. Alongside a general knowledge about mental health, youre also working against decades of ingrained ideas about what is acceptable to talk about and whats not. Youre fighting against ideas such as boys dont cry, real men dont show emotions and its weak to have a mental illness.

    This book wont tell you how to diagnose a mental illness and you will not become a medical practitioner or counsellor after reading it. It is not our place to put a label on someones behaviour but the good news is, you dont need to in order to make a difference to someone who is struggling.

    What this book aims to do is to enable you to have an impact on the men in your life by giving you the knowledge and tools you need to start and continue conversations in the best, most effective and helpful way. It will help you notice if someone is struggling, suffering or dealing with something, give you the words to ask them how they are, listen effectively and help signpost them to any help they may need.

    You dont need to be a mental health expert to make a difference to someone who is struggling.

    Whether its one particular person that has drawn you to this book or you just want to make an impact and start conversations around how men are feeling, you can be a set of eyes and ears in your community and your social circle. So many problems, if addressed early, can be solved by talking things through and offering support, potentially stopping people from experiencing depression, anxiety or other issues or even suicide.
