Men’s Health Week 2022: Stamping out stigma around male mental health 👦👨👴

Did you know that around 1 in 8 men in England have a common mental health problem? However, due to harmful gender stereotypes, this figure is thought to be much higher as men do not always reach out for support

Men's Health Week (13-19 June) shines a light on male health issues and encourages men to seek help – free from stigma. It reminds us that tired tropes such as ‘man up’ and ‘boys don’t cry’ have no place in modern society, and that men should feel comfortable speaking openly and honestly about the issues they are facing

Our latest podcast focuses on the crisis in masculinity, the effect of gender norms on male mental health and where to turn if you’re in need of support. Listen at vimeo.com/715140587
