Reclaim Your Power, Transform Your Life
If you hadn't already guessed it, my name is Jay, and I am an Empowerment Coach and a Registered Mental Health Nurse, specialising in the mental health of gay men.
Having experienced both sides of the mental health system, both as a patient and a professional, I truly understand just how overwhelming and frustrating it can be when our attempts to recover fall short of what is required to allow us to not only heal, but to truly thrive.
After achieving an incredible recovery and transformation of my own, I made it my mission to help other gay men to do the same.
Where do I go from here?
Here I dive deep into my personal journey through mental health - sharing the key aspects of my journey and the powerful recovery that still humbles me today.
In this free eBook I have collated all of my best knowledge and wisdom into an empowering guide that will help you not only recover, but truly thrive.
Jump straight to booking a discovery session, where we will explore your specific challenges to create a tailored roadmap as to how you can achieve a powerful recovery.
The journey through mental health is painful, and often lonely. But as you are reading this, take a moment to reflect on just how much you have survived already, and use that knowledge to remind yourself of the strength and resilience that you innately possess, that has brought you right through to today.
I truly believe that our pain and suffering is our most valuable resource, and when we use it correctly, every single one of us has the ability to transform our lives beyond recognition.
Waking up each day with a deep sense of wellness and an unshakeable passion for life is within your reach. You are strong and you are capable. But more importantly, you are worthy. A powerful recovery and a life whereby you truly thrive awaits you.
How is the mental health of gay men unique?
Although LGBT+ rights have come a long way in recent times, gay men continue to be disproportionately affected when it comes to mental health.
When compared with our straight counterparts, gay men are:
- 2.5 times more likely to experience depression, anxiety and other mood disorders
- 4 times more likely to attempt suicide
- 3 times more likely to experience anorexia or bulimia, with 1 in 7 developing an eating disorder at some point in their lifetime
- 4.25 times more likely to have used illicit substances in the past year.
This is largely due to societal stigma, discrimination and rejection, as well as pressure from within the gay community itself to appear a certain (often completely unrealistic) way.
The fear of HIV/AIDS, combined with a lack of understanding within healthcare services of the unique challenges that gay men face, all contribute to these rather sobering (pun intended!) statistics.
