Why Men's Mental Health Matters
Many men struggle in silence, bottling up their emotions due to societal expectations and fear of judgment. The statistics are alarming:
- According to Gallup, men report higher levels of stress and worry compared to women.
- The WHO highlights that men are at a higher risk of suicide compared to women. Globally, men account for approximately 75% of all suicides.
It's time to change the narrative. With the right support, education, and awareness, we can encourage men to speak up, seek help, and take care of their well-being.
Why MHFA Runs this Campaign
At MHFA, we believe that awareness and early intervention save lives. This campaign focuses on empowering individuals with the tools and knowledge needed to create supportive spaces for men, both at work and in their personal lives. By starting conversations and driving action, we can promote well-being and help men feel confident in reaching out for support.
We are aligned with the latest statistics and the realities of the world around us. Through deep research and analysis, we curate each campaign to ensure it effectively addresses the needs of individuals within our communities.
