Macho, Manly, Masculine But Not Feeling So Happy?
Did you know?
- 1 in 8 men suffer from mental ill health
- 3 out of 4 suicides are men
- Suicide is the biggest killer in men under 35
- Men are more likely to use and die from drugs or alcohol
- Men are less likely to seek help
That last point is so true, men are less likely to seek help. As a coach I am often approached by women who want to talk about their male family members and friends who they think may be depressed, stressed or lacking confidence. Equally when I have a male client who does seek help they often come for help about a specific problem but not that they are depressed, stressed or lacking confidence.
So how can we help men to start to take care of their mental wellbeing?
Here are some great web links with amazing information just for men.
