Battle Armour is a men’s mental health podcast that shares authentic stories of resilience, suicide survival, and recovery, especially for men and their families who have lived with long-term trauma like childhood sexual abuse. The show gives voice to survivors, their families, and those who have grieved, so listeners feel understood and supported rather than isolated.

The tone is calm, straight-talking, and human: we discuss the hard stuff without sugar-coating it.

Across the series, I sit down with people who have faced mental health struggles and suicide , from those who have tried to those who have grieved—so listeners hear both sides of the story.

In the first episodes, I am extremely honoured to speak with Craig Hughes-Cashmore , CEO and co-founder of Survivors & Mates Support Network .

Craig has spent years turning his own experience into a powerful force for change, building trauma informed peer support groups, advocacy, and education that help men feel less alone and more understood. In our conversation on Battle Armour, Craig brings deep honesty, compassion, and hard-won insight about disclosure, recovery, and the healing power of connection, setting the tone for the podcast as a place for real, courageous conversations about men’s mental health and survival.

🎧 If you care about men’s mental health, trauma recovery, or supporting someone you love, Battle Armour is for you. Listen in, share it with someone who needs to hear it, and join the conversation about what it really means to wear your battle armour not to hide, but to heal.
