Suicide remains the biggest cause of death for men under 50 in the UK, with men making up around 3 in 4 of those who died by suicide in 2023.
This International Men’s Day, we're speaking to Mental Health & Wellbeing Award winners James’ Place and the world’s largest men’s health charity, Movember, to discuss what successful support and intervention can look like for men in suicidal crisis in the UK.
The webinar will cover what James' Place does, including how and who it helps, as well as statistics, language and common misconceptions around male suicide. We'll also discuss national strategy for men's mental health in the UK.
