Former Big Brother winner and talented barber, Anthony Hutton, visited Kleek Darlington to talk about his inspiring initiative, Never Throw In The Towel Project.
Our students gained an insight into the incredible work Anthony does for mental health and suicide prevention, and how working in the hairdressing industry and having a simple conversation with someone in the chair can get people talking about their struggles.
Anthony spoke about how asking for a haircut rather than asking for help can be a lot easier for people, especially men, as well as opening up about his own journey through mental health challenges.
To find out more about Anthony’s work, visit Never Throw In The Towel Project.
Remember, communication is key! As hair stylists, barbers, and beauty therapists, we can all play a vital role in addressing mental health issues.
If you are in need of support or someone to talk to, call Samaritans on 116 123 or access other Useful Contacts that are ready to provide support and advice.
