Co-producing change for better mental health for young men at the margins. In conflict with the law | young migrants | LGBTQI+ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🧡 | UKRI funded

[Men Minds Project @MenMindsProject]

That's a wrap for this year! In 2024 we celebrated one year of forum sessions (there have 25 so far!); designed and delivered research with 60 young men; and (nearly!) analysed all the data. In 2025 we look forward to producing our outputs and sharing our findings with you all!

[Men Minds Project @MenMindsProject]

We just need one more young man to complete our survey before the end of the day to reach our target...although we'd love to hear from as many of you as possible

Please can you help us to improve mental health research for other young men?

Child mental health has been a longstanding focus of the study’s data collection. We found 14% had experienced emotional or mental health difficulties severe enough that they received a diagnosis or sought professional help.

It's the final two days of our survey, which has been designed by young men for other young men. Please help us improve understanding of young men's mental health and mental health research. It's anonymous and only takes 5 mins. https://t.co/QeBAyfo6JO

We had a great session yesterday with our partners @YouthLinkScot @ManOnSCIO and @Includem2000

We shared early findings and helped partners think through their organisations from a young man's perspective

We also learned who the karaoke stars are and who has never eaten haggis

Amazing work happening in Scotland to promote healthier masculinities with @IainCorbett88 @YouthLinkScot @NKBLScotland By working with young men, bringing them alongside and moving away from the toxic masculinity narrative we can improve things for both women and men in society

[The Ferret @FerretScot]

🔴 NEW LONG READ: Online misogyny is being turbo-charged by the manosphere and incel culture... and the toxic algorithms target young men. So could helping them see their role in finding solutions to end violence against women make a difference? https://t.co/5T8wZpGlXR

It's the final few weeks of our peer research fieldwork, and we've gone yellow for #WorldMentalHealthDay

Please share our short anonymous survey with any young men in Scotland who fit our criteria. https://t.co/QeBAyfoEzm
