#Episode 7- Enlighten the Shadows

Back in autumn 2022, mental health development worker, Sue Buckby, caught up with Rory Green, founder of charity Enlighten the Shadows to chat all things men's mental health...

Enlighten the Shadows (ETS) is a Nottingham born charity aimed at supporting men's mental health, from anxious thoughts all the way to suicidal thoughts. They support over 500 men, locally, nationally and even internationally, through their online platform and private Facebook group.

In this video, Rory explains how ETS was birthed out of his own painful experience and his passion to help prevent suicides in men by creating space for Real Men, Real Talk. Nothing is off limits in the supportive groups and this charity is growing at an incredible rate. Rory shares his thoughts on Mental health within a faith context and how mighty men and women of the Bible, who have had their own mental struggles, give him inspiration.

ETS have platforms on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, email and a website. Click on the links below to get involved!
