๐ฃ The Mental Health Benefits of Fishing
Fishing is more than just a hobby. It helps men step away from their busy lives and relax. The slow, steady process of fishingโcasting a line, waiting, and focusing on the waterโcan be very calming. It helps lower stress and gives men time to clear their minds.
Spending time outdoors is also important for mental health. Being in nature can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and boost overall well-being. Fishing provides a chance to breathe fresh air, enjoy quiet moments, and feel a sense of achievement.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
A fully qualified facilitator and level 2 angling coach with over 30 years of angling experience. They will also provide fishing tackle, bait, etc. Please note that a rod licence to fish will be provided.
๐ TICKET PRICE - ยฃ5
โFor Men To Talkโ ask for a non-refundable contribution amount of ยฃ5 per meeting.
Required attendees: 8 men. Tickets can be booked via the event link.
