The Barbershop | Mental Health

In September 2021, Bedford barber Fabio Moliterno took his own life after years of struggling with his mental health. In this deeply personal and powerful story, Fabio’s family and some of the staff from his barbershop have embarked on a campaign to raise mental health awareness. We follow them as they undertake suicide intervention training to help tackle the issue of male suicide.

TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve been coming to the Academy for the past six years, and during that time, it’s been so much more than just a place — it’s been a lifeline. No matter what I was going through, I’ve always found the support I needed here. The men’s mental health programmes have made a real difference, not just for me, but for so many others. In those darkest moments, when everything feels like it’s falling apart, they’ve been that steady light — reminding us that we’re not alone, that we matter, and that it’s worth holding on.

Honestly, without the support of the men’s projects, a lot of us wouldn’t still be here today. That’s the impact they’ve had — they’ve given us hope when we thought we had none.”
