Men's Health Week 2024
This week is International Men's Health Week.
Did you know that men are less likely to seek mental health support, and they account for 75% of all suicides worldwide? Men make up over 90% of those working on a construction site and workers in construction are at some of the highest risk of suicide in the country, with rates in the industry over three times higher than the national average.
These alarming statistics highlight the importance of reaching out and offering support to the men in our lives.
This is done brilliantly in Hampshire and across the UK by ManGang UK
You can also get advice and support from Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity - dedicated to the emotional, physical and financial wellbeing of construction workers and their families. As well as providing the Construction Industry Help line, their Help Inside the Hard Hat campaign aims to deliver the message that no construction worker or their family should be alone in a crisis.
Mates in Mind also aims to support mental health across the construction industry and related sectors and their website includes links to a number of other charities.
You can find more links and advice for Men's Health Week on the NHS Professionals website.
