Everyone deserves good mental health, and that includes men. 💜

This month we’re sharing stories from men who have been through difficult times – what they learned, who they turned to and how they keep on going.

If you’re struggling, please remember that you are not alone.

If you, or someone you know is finding life tough, these brilliant charities help. 💜

Today is World Mental Health Day

Poor mental health is not inevitable, and World Mental Health Day is an opportunity for us all to talk about mental health and consider how, together, we can help everyone have better mental health.

This year’s theme set by the World Federation for Mental Health is access to services - mental health in catastrophes and emergencies. The theme highlights the importance of people being able to protect their mental health whatever they're going through, because everyone deserves good mental health.
