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.
We've got one last Good Chat on the books for 2025!
"Emotional Literacy." Hosted by activist, educator, and speaker for gender equality Ben Hurst.
We're kicking off 2026 with a Good Chat Circles event! Join us and speaker, activist and all around humanity-hype-guy @benhurst on March 10 for our next Good Chat!
We’re talking about emotional literacy - what comes easily and what doesn’t when we try to express our feelings (and why). It won’t be nearly as buttoned up as it sounds.
7PM at our friends @thewolfpack NW location.
Free event, guys only. Food & beverage if offered at the venue.
We want to see you & your mates there!
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.

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.

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.
