Men's Mental Health Support for Manufacturing
For factories, production sites and engineering workshops where the work is physical, the shifts are long and people tend to just get on with it.
From a single session to an ongoing partnership. Every proposal is built around your workforce.
What we hear on the shop floor
Shift work
Rotating and night shifts affect sleep, mood and time with family, and can leave people running on empty.
Production pressure
Targets, downtime and order books can make every shift feel high-stakes, from the line to the supervisor.
Physical strain
Repetitive or heavy work, injuries and ongoing pain wear people down, and pain and low mood often go together.
Uncertainty
Restructures, new systems and talk of redundancies create worry that people carry home.
A "get on with it" culture
In many teams, admitting you're struggling still feels like a risk to your reputation.
Supervisors in the middle
Team leaders carry pressure from above and below, often with little support of their own.
Practical support that fits the working day
On the shop floor
Sessions in your canteen, training room or briefing area, built into the working day rather than bolted on.
Plain-spoken
No jargon and no pressure. Real situations, practical tools and room to listen.
For supervisors too
Support for team leaders to notice changes and have early, supportive conversations.
Private when it needs to be
Confidential one-to-one support for men who'd rather not speak in front of their team.
What we can deliver
Workplace men's circles
A regular, facilitated space where men can talk honestly or just listen. Nobody has to share.
Men's wellbeing workshops
Practical, plain-spoken sessions on stress, pressure and looking out for each other.
Confidential one-to-one support

Request a corporate partnership proposal
Tell us a little about your organisation and the men in your workforce. Every organisation is different, so we develop proposals based on workforce needs, programme scope and delivery requirements. A real person reads every message and replies within two working days, usually to arrange a short introductory conversation of twenty to thirty minutes. There is no obligation and no sales process. You can also email info@mendtogether.org.

Common questions
- Can you run sessions for night shifts?
- We'll agree timings with you so different shifts can take part. Getting this right is part of the first conversation.
- Will people have to share personal things?
- No. Sharing is always optional, and there are private one-to-one options for anyone who'd rather not speak in a group.
- Is this a replacement for occupational health or an EAP?
- No. It's wellbeing and peer support that sits alongside your existing provision, and often helps men feel able to use it.
- Do you only work with manufacturers?
- No. We work with employers in many sectors, particularly those with large male workforces, such as construction, engineering, logistics and transport.
