THE founder of a mental health support group for men has urged people to reach out for support if they are struggling.

James Wood, from Kendal, came up with the idea of Bro Room last year, a group that offers peer support in person and online for men, after battling with his own mental health issues.

Bro Room meetings take place every Wednesday evening between 6pm and 9pm at David Graham Hairdressing in Kendal and Mr Wood has encouraged people to attend.

Mr Wood said he has plenty planned for upcoming meetings and is looking into providing mental health first aid courses.

“It’s a big step for men to come through the door,” he said.

“But it’s just four walls and a group of guys having a chat.”
