New Resource: Supporting Men’s Mental Health

Posted on: November 4, 2025

As part of Men’s Health Month, we’re pleased to announce that a new section dedicated to men’s mental health has been added to the Talk Suicide website.

This section has been created to encourage open conversations, raise awareness, and provide tailored support for men who may be struggling with their mental health or experiencing suicidal thoughts.

🌟 What’s Included

  • Real-life stories from men who’ve faced mental health challenges

  • Information on local and national charities offering specialist support

  • Insightful pages exploring topics such as toxic masculinity and the barriers that stop men from seeking help

  • A powerful documentary sharing one man’s personal journey through suicidal thoughts and recovery

👥 How You Can Help

We’re asking all partners—particularly those working in emergency departments, health settings, and the voluntary sector—to:

  • Visit the Talk Suicide website and explore the new men’s section

  • Share the link with colleagues, service users, and community networks

  • Encourage others to complete the FREE online suicide prevention training available on the site

Your support in promoting this vital resource can help us reach more men in our communities—and could genuinely help to save lives.

💬 Get Involved

If your organisation offers workshops, local services, or personal stories that could enhance the content on the Talk Suicide website, we’d love to hear from you.

Together, we can break down stigma and make sure men know that it’s okay to talk—and to seek help.
