Suicide Intervention and Prevention Specialists

Men’s Minds Matter – Tackling Male Suicide

We are passionate about suicide intervention and prevention. We specialise in developing and delivering psychological interventions for people who are suicidal, alongside campaigning and raising awareness. Our model of psychological entrapment & suicidal crises is the first of its kind & it shapes everything we do. Our model transcends genders but we speak directly to men.

Male Suicide Rates

Men account for three quarters of all suicides and male suicides have always been disproportionately high. Suicide is the leading cause of death globally for men across all age groups. Undeniably, it’s something that needs attention with a focus on on the male experience.

Men’s Mental Health

When it comes to thinking about the psychological needs of men we seem to have our heads in the clouds, whistling merrily along as if everything is fine. Things aren’t fine and there are many issue that men and boys face which require our attention. In conclusion, more needs to be done.

Here are some of the issues men and boys face

On average more than 13 men a day take their own lives

The vast majority of the prison population is male

There are significantly higher rates of substance abuse and dependence in men

The outward expression of male distress causes significant problems for other men, women and children

They are twice as likely to be a victims of violent crime
