A hybrid event in London and online
brought to you by Keltie LLP, Jonathan’s Voice and IP Inclusive
Thursday 21 November 2024, 5.30 for 6 pm
Keltie LLP hosted an in-person interactive discussion on men’s mental health in the modern world with a focus on male suicide awareness and prevention. We were joined by the fantastic charity Jonathan’s Voice and brilliant specialist guest speaker Dr Susie Bennett. The discussion was also available online for those who couldn’t make it in person. Tashes were encouraged if applicable!
Meet the speaker

This was a hybrid event, to help us reach as many people as possible. However, the in-person element included time for networking with like-minded individuals in the profession after the talks.
Timings
Reception drinks: 5.30 – 6.00 pm
Talks and online section: 6.00 – 7.00 pm
Networking: 7.00 – 8.00 pm
Registration
This event was free. So are all our resources. The Jonathan’s Voice events and resources are also free at the point of delivery.
That said, both organisations do need money to keep the show on the road, so if you enjoyed the event please consider contributing via our Just Giving page. For more information, visit the IP Inclusive fundraising page, or the Jonathan’s Voice donations page.
Who was it for?
This event was for all UK-based IP professionals who are interested in mental wellbeing. We don’t mind where you work, what role you play there or what career level you’re at. This is an important topic, which touches many and matters to all of us.
We also encouraged people to invite a guest to watch the webinar or attend with them – someone in a different role or at a different career level, perhaps; an ally or potential ally; or a colleague who’s not yet involved with IP Inclusive. They were all most welcome!
Resources
Dr Susie Bennett’s comprehensive slides can be found here. We’re very sorry, but due to a technical problem, the recording is not available. You can find lots of useful resources on our relaunched Mental Health Hub and you may be interested in other webinars on our mental health playlist below.
