Sadly, this will be the reality for an awful lot of people who wanted to celebrate International Men's Day in their workplaces today....

Why are organisations reluctant to celebrate it? Anyone?

Who is recognising, and celebrating, International Men's Day?

International Men's Day, celebrated on November 19, is more than just a date on the calendar. It’s a crucial moment to reflect on the contributions of men in our communities and to address the challenges they face, from mental health to workplace stress. The 2024 theme, 'Positive Male Role Models', highlights the importance of recognising and supporting men in breaking down harmful stereotypes.

While some organisations may feel hesitant about promoting this day, fearing it might, mistakenly, detract from broader diversity efforts, the truth is that it complements them. By acknowledging and supporting men's issues, companies can build a workplace culture that values open dialogue, empathy, and holistic well-being.

At the Armour, we’re proud to champion International Men's Day.=! Our mission is to dismantle the barriers that prevent men from seeking help and expressing themselves fully.

Companies can celebrate this day by:

- Hosting Special Workshops: Facilitating discussions that explore mental health, resilience, and the power of peer support.
- Sharing Stories of Strength: Highlighting real experiences from our coaching programs that show the courage it takes for men to ask for help and grow.
- Providing Safe Spaces: Ensuring men can connect, share, and learn without fear of judgment.

Supporting this day isn’t just about acknowledging challenges - it’s about inspiring change. At the Armour, we’re proud to create an environment where men can step forward, find support, and build their strength together.

Let’s make this November 19th a meaningful day for progress and understanding.

Following on from our recent post offering some free men's coaching, we've had a few enquiries asking 'just what is coaching??' So...

Coaching is a collaborative process that empowers individuals to achieve personal and professional growth. For men, coaching offers a unique opportunity to break free from societal expectations, explore emotions, and develop resilience. It provides a confidential space to discuss challenges, set meaningful goals, and build strategies for success.

At Behind the Armour, we specialise in men's coaching, offering tailored support to help you navigate life's complexities. Whether you're seeking to enhance your career, improve relationships, or boost self-confidence, our experienced coaches are here to guide you.

Introducing Behind the Armour: A Safe Space for Men’s Mental Health

Too many men hide their struggles behind a mask of strength. At Behind the Armour, we’re here to change that. With men making up 76% of all suicides in the UK, it’s clear that silence is deadly.

Our mission? To create safe spaces—both in-person and online—where men can speak openly, support each other, and find strength in vulnerability. We also offer men's coaching to guide individuals through challenges and build resilience. No judgment. No pressure. Just understanding.

Asking for help is a sign of strength. Join us and help break the stigma around men’s mental health.


Together, let’s make sure no man has to fight alone.
