00:07When people need the support, what do you advise the best thing to do?
00:12Ask twice, let them say that, oh yeah I'm fine thanks and brush it off, and then like,
00:16are you really? And then offer some evidence and say, because I've noticed you don't see
00:20yourself at the moment. We need to have more conversations with our friends, with our families.
00:26Being that person who sits and listens to someone is actually something that can help
00:32massively more than talking or fixing. I think it's very difficult to sometimes tackle it for
00:37young men. You know young men are very notorious for not wanting to open up, not wanting to share,
00:43not wanting to look vulnerable. But I think guys particularly find emotions quite difficult,
00:47don't quite know how to deal with them. Strong emotions, no emotions, whatever it might be,
00:51you kind of find it quite hard and I think that's where we've got to get better at having an
00:54open
00:54conversation about these things.
