People grieving because of suicide can feel very alone, suffering from a kind of loss they feel others may not understand.
Today, on International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, we're reminding people bereaved by suicide, that we're here for you too 💚

INTERNATIONAL MENS DAY 2024 💙
75% of suicides are men
12 men a day complete suicide ,1 man every 2 hours
82 men a week in the U.K. take their own lives.
Let’s just think about that for a second.........
“Man up”
“boys don’t cry”
“nice guys finish last”
These are just some of the unhelpful and damaging messages that almost all boys will hear early on in their lives.
The messages come from all directions, and these reinforcing and toxic messages continue through adolescence and into adulthood. Is it any wonder so many of us men are unable to open up about our feelings and mental health?
We are at the beginning of an exciting, major cultural shift in how we think about mental health, self-care and mental illness as a country. And we need to be thinking about the impact of gender, gender expectations and gender identity every step of the way if we are going to make the much needed changes in our society.
Let’s be really clear......
right now, there is a major crisis in men’s mental health and wellbeing. Too many men still find it difficult to speak openly about their feelings, worries, and mental health struggles.
Research has shown that this feeling is often most prevalent in the workplace, with 40% of men reporting they would prefer to hide any such issues from senior management, owing to the fear of being told to “man up” and/or their career being negatively impacted.
Let’s start the conversation today, let’s end the shame and squash the stigma attached to men’s mental health.
Let’s talk about it

It’s our 6th birthday today 🎉🎉
6 years ago today we opened our doors for the first time in Penryn, Cornwall and 8 brave men graced us with their presence that evening.
Fast forward 6 years and we have over 80 volunteers and nearly 40 meetings taking place across the country. With making the decision back in March to take this framework to every man, in every town, in every city across the U.K.
Our main focus has and always will be to reduce male suicide, it’s that simple for us 🙌🏻
Our board of directors, our facilitators, our admin team. We are all working endlessly behind the scenes to ensure this project is a huge success and we won’t stop until we achieve that.
So thank you to everyone who has ever donated, provided support, run an event, shared our posts and liked our page, to all the amazing people who encourage us daily. It’s means the world to us.
So here’s to the future of Man Down 💪🏻🚀
Let’s talk about it 💙

World mental health day 2024 🧠 🌎
World Mental Health Day is a chance to talk about mental health in general, how we need to look after it, and how important it is to talk about things and how to get help if you are struggling.
Mental health affects a large percentage of our population, the NHS states that one-in-four adults and one-in-ten children experience mental illness during their lifetime! This is an important reminder that if you struggle with mental illness, you are not alone.
What is Mental Health??
Mental health a state of well-being in which the individual realises his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.
How do we help people who are struggling with their mental health ??
We offer a safe , non judgmental environment for men living in the U.K. to come and talk about their struggles and concerns.
The meetings are free to attend and very informal. There is no pressure to talk whatsoever, you will be made to feel very comfortable just sitting with the group and taking in the conversations.
We have welcomed over 4000 men into our groups over the last 5 years so If you’re reading this right now and want to reach out to us, don’t feel ashamed, reach out.
