#Talktober is one of The Male Hug’s most important campaigns of the year. It challenges and encourages men from all walks of life across the nation to support a buddy, get talking and help continue to support the vital work The Male Hug is doing. Our 1800 MY BUDDY hotline and education programs provide much-needed support for many men in our community.
So get involved. Support a buddy. Sign up for Talktober here, get talking, and raise money for positive men’s wellbeing.
