October is turning into #Talktober – Take the challenge!
Throughout the month of October, men across the nation will be taking up the #Talktober Challenge to call up a family member or friend and talk about how they are doing. Men from all walks in life will be involved from well known celebrities to someone you may know who lives on your street.
Take the Talktober challenge and call a buddy every day for the month of October. Start up a fundraiser while at your at and help us continue our education programs and 24/7 Buddy support network. Partners and friends can participate as well by supporting someone talking the challenge too.

CEO and Founder Tony Rabah believes Talktober is just the thing that the professional world needs at the moment. “ So many professional men are doing it so tough at the moment with the Pandemic hitting the business world hard. So many have lost their jobs, closed their doors or are just struggling through on a day to day basis unsure of where the next customer is coming from. This is the time that Men need to speak out. Don’t hold your feelings or emotions back, because the damage that can be done from that could be immense. If someone out there needs someone to talk to, The Male Hug can help with our Let’s Chat Buddy Program”
