Men’s mental health doesn’t always show up in obvious ways and for many, it’s not something they were ever taught to talk about.

This week's Conversations at The Royal session created space to change that.

We explored how to start conversations in a real, natural way, how to listen without trying to fix, and how connection often happens side-by-side — not across a table, but in the everyday moments we share. To watch the recording, head to: https://www.youtube.com/RoyalTalks

A special thank you to our host, Jeff Hopper (Move100), and to our speakers for sharing their time, insight, and expertise: Dr. Rajiv Bhatla (The Royal), Derick Fage (Executive Producer of Your Morning Ottawa) and Mohamed Ebeid (PhD Student, Clinical Psychology, University of Ottawa).

This marks our final Conversation of the season, but we’re just getting started. As we look ahead to season two, we want to keep building this together.

Let us know in the comments: what mental health topics or conversations would you like to see next?

Thank you to everyone who made the final chapter of the Royal Open a meaningful one.
Because of our incredible community, $225,000 was raised to help more people reclaim what mental illness and addiction have taken from them.
While this is the final tournament, the impact of its success will continue.
