In May 2022, Peter did an interview with Dan Somers, founder of a men's mental health charity called MANUP?. Today, we caught up with Dan again - here's the interview:
I really love the key takeaway section he has put together:
แดแดส แดแดแดแดแดแดกแดส๊ฑ:
๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฎ: Peter describes his memory as a "pencil drawing with no colour" and how meaningful conversations can "fill in the colours."
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ด๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐: Peter's wife, like many caregivers, is often overlooked. Let's remember the emotional toll on family members.
๐ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐:Daniel emphasises that mental health conditions, including dementia, affect everyone around the individual, not just the person diagnosed.
Poetry for the Soul Peter and Deb have released a poetry book, "Walk with me: musings through the dementia fog," capturing Peter's raw emotions and thoughts.
Physical Meets Mental: Peter's next challenge? Cycling 100 miles in a day to promote physical and mental well-being.
Education is Key: Both Daniel and Peter stress the need for public awareness and education about dementia and mental health.
Wisdom from Peter: "You only die once; you live every day." Let's make each day count.
Let's break the stigma and open up the conversation about dementia and mental health. Share this video to spread awareness and education.
Dan: you do a wonderful job of raising awareness around men's mental health!
