We second what Ian says! We need to break the stigma that stops men feeling like they’re able to talk about their mental health. Nobody, whoever they are, or whatever their background should ever feel shame about struggling or having suicidal thoughts. #InternationalMensDay

Very true, the trouble is after you've done the talking there needs to be so much more. In the UK at least, there's barely anything left.

We're always here to listen 💚 but we agree, which is why at the moment we're campaigning for the government to continue local suicide prevention funding. Find out more here:

Rep. Sarah McBride: "1 in 2 kids are potentially about to have their health care either undermined or eliminated...when we talk about it we should just keep bringing it back to the people we represent."

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 them. The stigma of male mental health needs to end. Man Down run talking meetings around Cornwall (UK) for men with mental health concerns. Meetings are run by male volunteers with lived experience of mental health. We run these meetings to help men talk to other men in a safe, supportive environment without judgement. Together we can eradicate the stigma of male mental health. We want this video to be shared far and wide. We want to make men understand that the trauma effect and the destruction left behind after a life is taken is unbearable and utterly devastating for everyone involved. We are so very proud to share this with you all. #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthSupport #cornwall #cornwallmamdown #LetsTalkAboutIt #NeverGiveUp

In the 90s and early 2000s, people talked far less about their so-called “mental health.” We were told the problem was “stigma” and that we should focus on increasing “mental health awareness” to fight it– which would, in turn, lessen rates of suffering. Today,” conversations about “mental health” are everywhere and access to treatment has never been higher. Yet more people are anxious, depressed, and unhappy than ever before. That should make us rethink the direction we have taken. DoctorTro Brian Lenzkes, MD

When I hear from people about what keeps them up at night, so often it’s their rent, their mortgage, or whether they’re ever going to be able to afford their own home. Congress is finally doing something about it. We’re close to the finish line – we just need the House to act.

What if we talked about marriage the way we talk about careers? Mollie says we should encourage young people to think about marriage and family as intentionally as they think about their careers.

Research shows men DO seek help… WE just aren’t providing them with the help they need! So should we be asking men to change for our mental health system, or should we be changing our mental health system to better address men’s needs? Follow my friend TheTinMen

When men talk about their mental health, it’s important that we listen. I was moved by Movember Ambassador Kola Bokinni’s honesty and bravery when we met to chat about focusing on men’s physical and mental wellbeing on the Movember UK bench.

Lads, here’s one I am buzzing to finally be able to talk about. Did you know one in five of men aged 50-75 ‘hardly ever or never’ think about their mental wellbeing? Well, now’s the time to change that. #Ad #DRINKiQ #MenOnAMission #UKMSA #DiageoGB

Americans should not only be able to pay their grocery bill or rent; they should also be able to afford that same family vacation for their kids that they had growing up. That’s what families deserve — and that’s what we should be delivering.
