Men’s Wellbeing

We understand the unique challenges men face in prioritising their health, often navigating societal pressures and stigma that hinder access to support. Our goal is to provide a safe, informative space where men can find resources, guidance, and encouragement to improve their physical and mental wellbeing.

 

Did you know?

  • Men are more likely to die from preventable conditions like heart disease, cancer, and suicide compared to women
  • Suicide is a leading cause of death for men under 50, with men being three times more likely to die by suicide than women
  • Men are more likely to struggle with substance abuse and addiction

Traditional gender roles that emphasise strength, stoicism, and self-reliance can discourage men from seeking help for mental health or other health issues. We have partnered with HealthHero, a leading digital healthcare provider who combine cutting-edge technology with gold-standard clinical expertise to make high-quality healthcare more accessible.
