Background

We think men’s mental health is in crisis. Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK, with over 75% of suicides being men. We believe stigma, cultural pressures, and lack of awareness stop some men from seeking help. .

Additional details

We think that without action, more lives could be lost, and families devastated To address this, We think we need: 1. Funding for men’s mental health services. 2. Campaigns to normalise seeking help. 3. Education teaching boys it’s okay to talk about emotions. 4. Easier access to resources through a central platform. 5. Peer mentoring to connect men with shared experiences. We believe by acting now, we can save lives, break stigma, and build a culture where men feel supported to seek help.
