Service pillar
Mental health
Actions and donations to raise awareness, and to remind everyone they're never alone. Between tablers, for our loved ones, for our children: we listen, we check in, we're there.
Towards others
Actions, donations, public stands
Movember, Tablathons, workshops, contributions to charities. We act to move the figures, and to remind anyone who's hurting that they aren't alone.
Among ourselves
Between tablers, for our loved ones, for our children
We check in for real on each other. We listen without judging, sometimes without even speaking. Because the mental load, the pressure at work, the family ups and downs, weigh in silence.
At Table Ronde 06 de Mons, mental health isn't a subject reserved for psychologists or November campaigns. It's everyday life for all of us, and fellowship here takes on its full meaning: being there, really, for each other.

Concretely, at RT6
Our mental-health commitment isn't a hashtag. It lives in our actions and in the way we are together.
Movember
Every November, members of Table Ronde 06 grow a moustache, run and raise funds for the Movember foundation. Male cancers, yes, but also mental health and suicide prevention.
Tablathon
For several years running, we take part in sporting challenges together. Move, push ourselves, sweat side by side. Because physical activity is one of the strongest levers against depression and anxiety.
Workshops
We take part in workshops on mental health, active listening, stress management. To know ourselves better, to understand each other better, and to know how to help a brother who isn't doing well.
The real check-in
Regularly, we check in on each other. A message, a call, a coffee. Not the automatic "you OK?" in the hallway, but the one that takes the time to wait for the answer.
Our conviction
At Round Table, we listen without judging. We're there, sometimes without even speaking. Reaching out without expecting anything back. We act for each other so that everyone feels better, really better.
Because no one measures the mental load, the pressure at work, the family challenges everyone goes through in silence. And we often tend to keep it too much to ourselves.
Being a tabler also means recognising that it's OK not to feel OK.
The right word at the right time
What to say, what not to say
We often mean well, but a clumsy sentence can guilt-trip instead of opening up. Here are a few simple reflexes, in meetings or by message.
Recognising a contribution
Avoid
"It's normal, it's the least we can do."
Try instead
"What you put into that event made the difference. Truly, thank you."
A member we no longer see
Avoid
"We never see you, are you ditching us?"
Try instead
"I miss you at the meetings. Nothing urgent, I just wanted to know how you're doing."
No news for a long time
Avoid
"You never answer, you've vanished."
Try instead
"I'm thinking of you. No need to reply fast. A coffee this week if you fancy, I'm here."
Absences from meetings
Avoid
"Absent again. You're taking this lightly."
Try instead
"We don't count attendances. If something is keeping you from coming right now, tell me, we adapt."
Support during an event
Avoid
"You didn't do much in the end."
Try instead
"Without you at the bar on Saturday, we sank. Thanks for showing up, even exhausted."
4 reflexes for a message check-in
- Swap "are you OK?" for "how are you really feeling?". An open question leaves room.
- Suggest something concrete ("I'll drop by Thursday?") rather than "if you need anything, let me know". It saves the other person the load.
- Listen before trying to fix. Often, a simple "I'm here" is enough.
- Silence isn't a rejection. Reach out again, without blame.
