Episode 60
Alex and Cammy show the power of sharing and peer support
Meet Alex and Cammy, probably two of the last guys you'd ever look at and think they had mental health struggles but like loads of us, they do, but they've found a way to cope through the support of Andy's Man Club.
In the 2nd of our episodes from the remarkable Wilderness Wellbeing Retreat in the remote Scottish Highlands, Alex and Cammy from share their recovery journeys. For Alex it’s a story which led him from alcohol abuse to a point of crisis and a failed suicide attempt to then discovering Andy’s Man Club which he went on to champion in Scotland. Andy’s Man Club now has 56 weekly clubs across Scotland and one of the people to benefit is Cammy. Cammy’s journey led him to contemplating ending his life one desperate new year but he shares how that turned around and the joy he now gets from being a dad and his weekly connection to other men through Andy’s Man Club.
Heartbreaking, inspiring, honest and ultimately uplifting, Alex and Cammy demonstrate first hand just how powerful story sharing really is.
