➡️ Over 40 Su***de Strategies.
➡️ Hundreds of Reports.
➡️ Thousands of Lives Lost.
➡️ And STILL no real change for men in Wales.

Here’s how that breaks down (approximate but grounded):

*Since 1981, Wales and the wider UK have seen 40+ major su***de prevention strategies, policy documents, frameworks, or reviews that included Wales — at both UK-wide and devolved Welsh Government levels.

These include:

* Multiple iterations of Welsh Government mental health strategies (e.g., Together for Mental Health, Talk to Me, Talk to Me 2, Strategy for Su***de and Self Harm Prevention)
* UK-wide NHS, NICE, and Public Health England/Wales guidance
* Countless academic reviews, public consultations, and local authority action plans
* Easily 100+ reviews and evaluations have examined su***de trends, risk factors, and service gaps.
* Add to that: millions spent, dozens of task forces, and thousands of hours of consultation.

Yet — the male su***de rate as of 2023 is worse than in 1981.

❗️It’s time to stop just talking about su***de and start seriously rethinking how we support men.

🧡 If this hits you, say something.
🧡 Support our work to change things.

🧠 Don’t believe everything you think. Your anxiety is lying to you.

Anxious thoughts can feel loud, urgent, and true—but that doesn’t mean they are.

💭 “You’re not good enough.”
💭 “Everyone’s judging you.”
💭 “Something bad is going to happen.”

These are anxiety’s greatest hits—but they’re not facts. They’re fear in disguise.

You are not your thoughts.
You are not your worst-case scenarios.
You are not alone.

🧡 If you’re struggling with anxious thoughts, reach out. Talk to someone you trust. Or start small—visit helpu.org.uk.

You deserve peace. And it’s possible.
