A very important point raised here by One Nation’s Senator Whitten. Approximately 75 per cent of all suicides are by men. Yet, in the National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Agreement, men are not one of the 15 “priority populations”. It’s long past time that men’s mental health was...

The World Cup starts tonight! ⚽️ But by the end of the first match, we’ll be one man down. Someone dies by suicide in our country every 90 minutes. Three-quarters of these are men. I spoke with Luke the co-founder of #ANDYSMANCLUB about male suicide, mental health and the help that is out there. 👇 Andy's Man Club is an incredible organisation that helps men across Britain open up, talk about what is going on in their lives, and help one another. I have been to sessions in my constituency and was overwhelmed by the support they can offer men dealing with all sorts of problems in their lives - small or large. In each session, a football is passed around the group to share thoughts, challenges, and successes. Simple, but effective and liberating! As a government, we take mental heath - and men's mental health - seriously. We published England’s first Men's Health Strategy last year, which committed further funding for suicide prevention programmes, recognising that suicide is one of the biggest killer of men under 50. We are investing £3.6 million in community based suicide prevention projects - and supporting the Premier League Together Against Suicide initiative with Samaritans. And this is a challenge for all of us, not just government. As a society we can do more to encourage men to open up, get the weight off their shoulders. That is a key part of our Men and Boys work led by David Lammy - amplifying the issues, assuring folk there is help out there. Enjoy the football, look out for one another, and know there is support out there!
