Here for a good time
and for a long time.
Hi there. We’re a non-profit community supporting men's mental health and suicide prevention in the UK.
Have a question? We’re always open to chat hello@itsgoodchat.com.
“Sad” looks different for everyone.
So does stressed, tired, anxious.
“Happy” can feel like an impossible place to reach.
But talking is a tool. It sheds the stigma that keeps us from feeling connected. Talking is a bridge to a less lonely future.
At the end of the day, it’s good to chat.
We hold free
bi-monthly events.
In nice spaces around London with inspiring speakers from various walks of life.
Good Chat is on summer break… but mental health support is not.
Please visit or share our resources page if you need immediate support.
We are currently in the process of organising our next (men and women) Speakers event in September. We will keep you posted via our instagram and more information is to come.
Excited to meet with you all again, soon!
If you would like to receive email updates please RSVP below.
Reflections from the room

It was not what I expected but just what I needed. Great place to chat casually about stuff I would never normally discuss with anyone, let alone other lads.

A great opportunity to talk openly about mental health in a relaxed community setting.

It was great seeing everyone being so honest, open and deep. So many times you just speak surface level but it was refreshing to hear some deep conversations from everyone.

Good chat was a big eye-opener. There are many others, from all walks of life, navigating the very same struggles as me. It’s affirming just to know you’re not alone, and that these feelings are normal.

I would say it was well worth going and certainly has changed my perceptions of mental men’s mental health awareness.

A safe space for men to talk about everything they’d like to talk about. No boundaries with no finger pointing or shaming.

A space for sharing male mental health stories in a non judgemental environment and building connection across different experiences of life. The good the bad and the ugly.

In partnership with
Incoming Good Chats 2025
The second in our series is happening at The Hero on March 11th! Featuring Simon Salter, co-founder of DIRTEA and Mark Whittle, performance coach and podcaster. Don't miss a good chat.
The third in our series moves to a new location, Sweeney's a community-based gym in East London - to help us reach more men and root the conversation in a familiar, supportive space. Hosted by Mark Whittle and filmmaker/activist Will Castle (@suicideandco), this men-only session will offer a tighter focus, themed discussion, and small breakout groups.
Details coming very soon!
More details to come.
Every day in the UK we lose 18 people to suicide.
Sadly suicide rates are rising for both men and women.
1:5 people will have suicidal thoughts in their lifetime.
It's not just the stats that shout.
People of all ages and backgrounds are facing a pandemic that's experienced largely in the dark - a pandemic of loneliness.
Mental health is a road and it shouldn't have to go as far as suicide for us to look at it. But luckily, it's the only kind of health crisis we can help, lessen, and even prevent by simply talking.
That's what Good Chat aims to do. Have a smart chat in a safe place with people you like, and can count on.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple. We aim to create a community where men feel supported and can speak openly about real things, without the stigma.
We’ll provide practical tools and create spaces for good chats to navigate mental health challenges together.
Together, we’re changing the conversation.
