Set in 1917 on the Western Front, Captain Blackadder is doing everything in his power to stay alive, stay out of the firing line and maintain what little remains of his sanity!

If you're a fan of the original, this is one you won't want to miss! 😂

❤️ YOU ARE NOT ALONE. TALKING CAN HELP. - PLEASE TALK ❤️

Sometimes life gets too much.!!!!

Work. Money. Relationships. Family. Grief. Loneliness. Pressure. Worry. Things we don't always feel able to talk about.

And sometimes, particularly for men, there can be an overwhelming feeling that you should simply get on with it.

But you don't have to.

The latest figures show just how important it is that we keep talking about men's mental health. Around three-quarters of su***des registered in England in 2024 were men, and Samaritans identifies su***de as the biggest killer of men under 50.

Behind every statistic is a person.

Someone's son.
Someone's dad.
Someone's brother.
Someone's husband.
Someone's friend.

❤️ PLEASE TALK ❤️

You don't have to have the right words.
You don't have to know exactly what's wrong.
You don't have to wait until you're at breaking point.
Sometimes simply saying “I'm not OK” is enough to start a conversation.

And if someone you care about seems quieter than usual, withdrawn, angry, distant or just not themselves, ask them how they really are. Listen. Give them time. Don't judge. You don't need to have all the answers — sometimes being there and listening is incredibly important.

Research from Samaritans found that only 45% of people feel comfortable talking to friends and family about suicidal thoughts, showing just how much stigma still surrounds these conversations.
Talking doesn't make you weak. Asking for help doesn't make you a burden. And you don't have to face everything on your own.

💙 YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Crane Quality Counselling offers professional counselling for individuals, families, couples and young people across Shropshire and Cheshire, including support with relationships, bereavement, mental health and more.

Start the conversation. Ask twice. Listen. Be there. ❤️
