This is the Man Down Cornwall campaign video for 2024. It’s a thought-provoking watch, but that’s exactly what we want it to be. Far too many men suffer in silence and are not able to talk openly about how they feel about themselves, their lives and the world around...

@cornwallmandown Cornwall have set the Bar on this. Every place needs a Man Down Organisation.

@cornwallmandown In my little Parish of Cornwall we have lost so many men to suicide. Sadly we have also lost women. Suicide must be talked about. Great video.

@cornwallmandown No one really cares until we are gone and they realise what we actually do, I am only still here because I can't do it to my son, if I was single I'd be dead!

@cornwallmandown This is a thought provoking video at a very difficult time of the year. Its so important to listen, read the signs and not be afraid to ask those closest if they are OK. ❤️

@cornwallmandown Nobody has an account of how many men commit suicide in Spain, not even the government. Nowadays being a man is something to hide, and our mental health is something that should be kept for ourselves. We do have to change this, nobody will do it for us.

@cornwallmandown Thank you for raising awareness of such an important subject and one so very close to my heart ❤️ I agree it’s very thought provoking but so important we keep challenging the stigma surrounding mens mental health & encourage more to seek help and talk. Thank you 🙏

@cornwallmandown Such a powerful video. The child's acting is just superb. It broke my heart a little. Thank you for this much needed message (especially as I am the mother of two men).

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!

We are extremely proud to announce the launch of a mental health awareness public service announcement featuring Cleveland Guardians assistant athletic trainer Jeff Desjardins, developed in collaboration with MLB and the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Disability Employment Policy. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the importance of mental health and provide resources to those in need, whether they work in baseball or any type of workplace. “At the Department of Labor, we want all workers to feel supported, wherever they work—whether it’s a stadium, office, factory or any other environment,” said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Disability Employment Policy Taryn Williams. “This is a goal we share with PBATS, and we’re pleased to partner with them to shine a light on this important issue and educate America’s employers about best practices for meeting employees’ mental health needs.” “MLB proudly supports PBATS and the work they are doing to highlight the importance of mental health. MLB athletes face unique and varied demands, and PBATS members have always provided excellent, holistic care essential to the minds and bodies of our players,” said Jon Coyles, MLB’s Vice President of Drug, Health and Safety. “Education, awareness and de-stigmatizing mental health treatment are foundational to fostering a safe and productive environment for our athletes, and PBATS does an excellent job of making this a priority for players and fans alike.” For more resources, please visit: The Players’ Tribune AskEARN.org Mental Health America MLBNetworkPR MLB_PR
