Welcome to Episode 33 of No Man’s an Island – a podcast powered by Men’s Therapy Hub, a directory of male therapists for male clients.
In this conversation, Chris Hemmings speaks with Conor Warren, founder and CEO of Spark UK, one of the UK’s leading youth-led mental health organisations. Connor started Spark UK at just 14 after becoming a mental health ambassador at school and seeing how outdated, irrelevant and disconnected many mental health resources felt to young people.
Together, Chris and Connor explore Gen Z mental health, anxiety, therapy, eating difficulties, school counselling and what it means to speak openly as a young man in a culture where many boys still feel pressure to deal with things alone.
They also discuss social media, the Manosphere, the impact of Andrew Tate, why some young men resist therapy and why mental health education needs to be shaped by young people rather than simply delivered to them.
This episode is a conversation about youth voice, emotional literacy and why schools need to trust young people to lead the mental health conversations that affect them most.
