MATT

  • Shane O'Connell

MATT is a card game that creates fun small talk which can yield big conversations. Men are often reluctant to openly discuss their health or how they feel. This game helps combat that by breaking down the barriers around men's mental health. It also helps raise awareness for the issue suffered by 12.5% of men in the UK. Mental health problems can affect anyone, discrimination and stigma can make people apprehensive to opening up about their experiences and seek help. Mental health in men continues to be a taboo subject, with many men suffering in silence when they experience feelings of sadness, loneliness or anxiety.
