CHALLENGE
Mens mental health is on the decline with 35% of men believing that they have had a diagnosable mental health condition at some point in their lives.
19% have been diagnosed by a health professional.
Three quarters of suicide deaths in the UK in 2020 were men.
INSIGHT
Friends and family of men that have taken their lives have stated that when they had seen or spoke to them only days before, they didn't realise anything was wrong.
22% of men have stated they would not feel comfortable even talking to their GP about their mental health stating "I'm too embarassed to talk about it" (22%) or "I don't want to admit I need support" (17%).
SOLUTION
Mens mental health campaign SPEAKUP aims to spark conversations between men about their mental health, support each other in their journeys and ultimately save lives.
