# STRONG SIGNALS — STRONGER MINDS
## Men’s Mental Health Awareness Through Amateur Radio
The Humber Fortress DX Amateur Radio Club is proud to support Men’s Mental Health Awareness through the worldwide reach and community spirit of amateur radio.
Across two special event weekends during 2026, amateur radio operators from around the United Kingdom will come together on the airwaves using dedicated GB#MMH special event callsigns to help promote awareness, encourage conversation, and support those affected by mental health struggles.
Mental health affects countless men every day. Too often, many suffer in silence. Through this event we hope to encourage people to speak openly, check in on one another, and remind everyone that support is available and nobody has to face things alone.

# Mental Health Awareness
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is simply start a conversation.
This event aims to help encourage people to talk openly and support one another.
> “It’s okay to talk.”
> “Strong men ask for help.”
> “You are not alone.”
> “Silence isn’t strength. Speaking up is.”
> “Even the strongest need support.”
If you or somebody you know is struggling, please remember there are people and organisations ready to help.
