CHANNING TATUM’S

MAGIC MIKE LIVE IN LONDON

AT THE HIPPODROME CASINO

TO PARTNER WITH

MEN’S MINDS MATTER  

Channing Tatum and his co-producers are delighted toannounce a new year-long partnership between Magic Mike Live in London and innovative not-for-profit organisation Men’s Minds Matter; a public health initiative focused on developing psychological interventions for people in suicidal crisis. Magic Mike Live is currently running at The Theatre at the Hippodrome Casino in London, booking until Sunday 1 January 2023.

Men’s Minds Matter is a not-for-profit organisation that specialises in developing psychological interventions for people at risk of suicide. Their model of Psychological Entrapment and Suicidal Crises is the first of its kind and brings together psychological science, clinical and lived experience of suicide. The model underpins and guides everything they do and truly sets them apart from other mental health charities and not-for-profit organisations.

Men’s Minds Matter is run by Nigel Sanderson (suicide intervention specialist, lived experience expert and MMM director) and Dr Luke Sullivan (suicide intervention specialist, clinical psychologist and MMM director). Their main aim is to develop an interactive, live, web-based application that will bring their intervention to as many people as possible through their digital platforms. This is the first intervention of its kind and they believe it has the potential to save many lives.

Nigel Sanderson and Dr Luke Sullivan said of the partnership, “We’re super psyched to be partnering with Magic Mike Live over the coming year. Not only will the partnership help to raise awareness of suicide and suicide in men, it will also help to support our ambitions to save lives and bring a focus to our work. Our model of Psychological Entrapment and Suicidal Crises is already helping to save lives in the therapy room. Our model explains suicidality at the individual level and allows interventions to be designed which target the mechanisms that lead to and maintain suicidality. We want as many people as possible to support us and help make our ambitions a reality.”

Global Executive Producer of Magic Mike Live Vincent Marini added, “The impact of the pandemic on Magic Mike Live team members around the world has really brought into focus for us the importance of mental health initiatives like Men’s Minds Matter. We believe in supporting programmes that take innovative approaches to solving age old problems and Men’s Minds Matter is doing just that through their digital platforms. We are proud of our association with them and we look forward to working with them to help as many people as possible.”
