Barber Talk by Tom Chapman

Up to a certain age, Tom Chapman rarely had any reason to worry about his - or anyone else's - mental health. Aside from a bout of loneliness when his friends left town to go to university, he didn't struggle too badly with his emotions either.

But when he suddenly lost a friend to suicide, Tom knew that he wanted to do something to change the culture around men's mental health. Through his work as a barber, he recognised how important it was to encourage men to talk to each other. He knew that if he could just help men to open up, then perhaps he could save lives. And so 'The Lions Barber Collective' was born: an international group of top barbers, all of whom came together to encourage conversation and help raise awareness for the prevention of suicide.
