Men's Mental Health

This week is Men’s Mental Health week - a vital time to raise awareness and support for mental health issues affecting men, especially in the workplace.

Mental health affects everyone, and men often face challenges when seeking help. Stereotypes and expectations can lead many to suffer in silence. Breaking these barriers and nurturing a supportive work environment is essential.

Let's use this week to:

• Raise Awareness: Share resources and stories to highlight the importance of mental health in the workplace.
• Promote Support: Encourage colleagues to seek help when needed and utilise available mental health resources.
• Foster Empathy: Understand that everyone’s mental health journey is different and deserves compassion.

Employers and leaders play a critical role in this effort. Promoting awareness and creating a culture of openness where discussing mental health is encouraged and normalised.

Remember, it’s okay not to be okay. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
