The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is a charity I got involved with around 2008, writing various bits and bobs for. It started with music and then moved into other areas.
Back then they were aiming to reduce suicide amongst young men, the biggest killer of 15-35 year-olds, but they're now campaigning for men generally. Their cause inspired me to write the following pieces, amongst others.
Kill the Bantz (September 2014), a response to the launch of the UN's HeForShe campaign about why men need, and should support, feminism.
A response to the death of Gary Speed (February 2012), a piece I wrote when I heard the news about former football player and manager Gary Speed's death.
