Richard Pringle from RP Combat Conditioning said: "We all now know there's a real connection between mental and physical wellbeing and this course is designed to encourage men to not only talk about their feelings, worries and anxieties but also to develop coping strategies and explore the link with physical health and how this can have a real positive impact on our lives too."

We hope this course will give local men the opportunity to feel empowered and learn valuable coping strategies to improve their mental wellbeing."
