Men’s mental health, midlife health, prostate cancer awareness and Movember-ready sessions — the workshops UK employers book to support the men in their workforce.
Practical men’s wellbeing workshops for UK and global workplaces. Generally, men access support at lower rates than women, present mental health concerns later, and remain statistically more at risk of suicide. Importantly, employers are one of the few institutional touchpoints where these patterns can be interrupted. Therefore, our men’s wellbeing workshops are designed for organisations that want to genuinely move the dial on men’s health — not just mark Movember and Men’s Health Week with a poster.
This page is the booking starting point for HR, People, Wellbeing, and ERG leads investing in men’s health at work. Specifically, we cover five workshops spanning mental health, suicide awareness, prostate cancer, nutrition, and masculinity — plus the awareness day calendar and how STC partners with organisations to plan year-round men’s wellbeing activations.
Designed by accredited specialists — every men’s wellbeing workshop is co-designed and delivered by accredited mental health professionals, qualified nutritionists, or BACP-led therapists with corporate experience.
Designed for the audience you’re actually convening– Sessions work for whole teams, men’s networks, ERGs, or manager cohorts depending on the brief. Importantly, we tailor scenarios and language to your sector and cultural context.
Built for the workplace, not the wellness studio — Our men’s wellbeing sessions use practical, secular, evidence-based language. Specifically, we don’t do woo, we don’t do man-cave clichés, and we don’t do generic “self-care” content that men typically tune out.

The Men’s Wellbeing Workshops we deliver
Five workshops. Click any to see the full brief and book a discovery call.
Men’s Mental Health workshop
Our flagship men’s mental health session. Practical, conversational, structured around the topics men typically under-discuss at work — emotional honesty, when “I’m fine” isn’t, asking for help, supporting other men. Generally the most-booked session for Men’s Health Week and Men’s Mental Health Month. 60 min.
Men’s wellbeing: Nutrition workshop
A practical session on the specific shape of men’s nutrition needs — heart health, prostate, muscle and metabolism shifts, and the food choices that support energy, mood, and longevity. Generally pairs naturally with the men’s mental health workshop for organisations marking the full men’s health spectrum. 60 min.
Suicide Awareness workshop
A sensitive session on workplace suicide awareness — recognising warning signs, having the conversation safely, and signposting to professional support. Importantly, men remain statistically more at risk of suicide, which makes this an especially relevant session for men’s-themed wellbeing moments. Sensitive, structured, evidence-based. 60–90 min.
Men’s Midlife Health Workshop
The parallel to Managing Menopause at Work — the structural midlife support most workplaces have built for women, but rarely for men. Covers andropause, heart health, prostate awareness, mental health, and the male health check-list. Led by a qualified menopause and andropause specialist with an MSc in Nutritional Medicine and 17 years of corporate workshop experience.
Prostate Cancer awareness workshop
An evidence-based, sensitively delivered session on prostate cancer prevention, early detection, and the lifestyle choices that influence risk. Notably booked around Men’s Health Week (June) and Movember (November). Delivered by a GP with 25 years experience for whole-team delivery. 60 min.
Awareness moments for men’s wellbeing
Generally, men’s wellbeing activations cluster around four key moments in the calendar. Importantly, organisations that mark all four (rather than just Movember) see meaningfully better engagement over time:
- Men’s Health Week — 15-21 June 2026.
- Men’s Mental Health Month — June (the broader month containing Men’s Health Week)
- World Suicide Prevention Day — 10 September
- Movember & International Men’s Day — November (the biggest annual men’s health moment)

Why our men’s wellbeing workshops are different
Three things make our men’s wellbeing sessions distinct from generic men’s wellness providers:
Corporate-tailored, not consumer-coded. Importantly, a lot of men’s wellbeing content is designed for individual consumption — wellness apps, fitness routines, generic mental health awareness. Specifically, our workshops are designed for the workplace context: HR brief, ERG launch, leadership cohort, awareness day campaign. Generally, the language, examples, and action plans all reflect that.
Evidence-based, not stereotype-based. Notably, men’s wellbeing content often defaults to clichés (the man-cave, the gym, the BBQ). Our sessions skip the stereotypes and focus on what actually shifts behaviour — peer connection, role modelling, manager capability, language that lands. Importantly, this is what corporate buyers tell us they want.
Linked to your broader wellbeing strategy. Generally, men’s wellbeing isn’t a standalone topic. Specifically, our workshops thread into the broader mental health hub, the manager training cluster, and the signature wellbeing programmes for organisations building a year-round wellbeing strategy that includes men’s wellbeing as one pillar.
How delivery works
A few specifics for this category:
- Group size: Men’s wellbeing workshops work well at 20–60 attendees. Specifically, smaller cohorts (under 25) work better for the more sensitive sessions (suicide awareness, masculinity); larger groups work for general men’s mental health and prostate cancer awareness.
- Format options: In-person across the UK, virtual to global teams, or hybrid. Generally, men’s-focused sessions land equally well virtually, particularly for distributed workforces.
- Awareness day timing: Specifically, book Men’s Health Week (June) and Movember (November) slots 8-12 weeks ahead. Importantly, the Wednesday and Thursday slots within Men’s Health Week fill first.
- Lead time: Standard two to three weeks from confirmed booking. Specifically, tailoring adds two to three days, not weeks.
What our clients say
The Men’s Mental Health talk was transformational! There is such good commentary around the office from people who joined too.
It was a real privilege to host a talk on such a sensitive and taboo subject. We have never run a session with so many questions from the audience!
Listening to the speaker’s very open recounting of the issues he faced really resonated with me. It’s really nice to see men’s mental health being normalised more, and to see an environment that openly encourages sharing like this.
Frequently asked questions
Are these workshops only suitable for men, or can the whole team attend?
Generally, all five workshops can be delivered to men-only audiences (men’s networks, ERGs) or to mixed audiences (whole teams). Specifically, the mental health, suicide awareness, prostate cancer, and nutrition sessions work well for mixed audiences. The masculinity workshop typically lands better with men-only audiences, though we’ve delivered it both ways.
Can men’s wellbeing workshops be tailored to our sector?
Yes. We adapt scenarios, language, and the action-plan template to your sector — finance, professional services, tech, healthcare, public sector, charity. Specifically, tailoring adds two to three days to the delivery timeline.
Why do men under-engage with mental health support?
Notably, the patterns are well-documented: socialisation against emotional disclosure, perceived stigma in self-referral, lack of male-coded support pathways, clinical-sounding language that feels off-putting. Importantly, our workshops address these barriers directly rather than working around them.
How do you measure whether men’s wellbeing workshops have worked?
Every workshop comes with a post-session pulse survey covering takeaway value, intent to apply, and confidence in supporting peers. Generally, for series and programme clients, we run a 90-day follow-up pulse measuring whether behaviour change actually stuck.
Can we book multiple men’s wellbeing workshops as a series?
Yes — and notably, organisations marking the full men’s health calendar (Men’s Health Week, Movember, etc.) often book three or four sessions across the year. Specifically, series bookings unlock a discount and let us thread a coherent narrative across the year. Importantly, ask us about a bespoke programme on the discovery call if you’re investing seriously in men’s wellbeing.
Do you deliver men’s wellbeing workshops internationally?
Virtual delivery is available globally — we’ve delivered men’s wellbeing sessions to teams in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and APAC. In-person delivery is UK-focused.
