How to support Men’s Mental Health: Featuring 5 Men’s Health and Empowerment Experts

Shining the Blisspot Light on Men’s Mental Health

Our friends at Movember started a movement to change the face of men’s health, with an aim to reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25%.

What is the Men’s Mental Health Challenge and Why is It Important?

Movember states that tragically: “Across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 75% of all suicides.”

Over 5 million mighty mustaches later, people all over the world are now taking inspired action to support the men’s mental health charity to raise awareness of suicide prevention, along with prostate and testicular cancer.

How to Improve Men’s Mental Health

This article will look at male mental health in more detail, sharing real examples of five Blisspot experts who make their life lessons on men’s health and wellbeing available to help others.

We want everyone to know how to get personal support and access resources to be proactive in improving physical, emotional, or mental health, in whatever ways work best for you.

This includes workplace wellbeing and wellbeing programs for employees as well as personal resources.

Mental Health is Just as Important as Physical Health

Traditionally, men have been encouraged to be active and focus on physical health. However, mental health is also extremely important to improve your quality of life.

Male mental health includes psychological, emotional, and social well-being, impacting how you think, feel, and behave across all areas of life.

One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives.

Why Men’s Mental Health is Important

We all have ups and downs, good and bad days, but some people may experience feelings as though they cannot cope. This can range from feeling unmotivated to feeling suicidal. It is important to know that no matter how hard it can seem, there is always hope, you always have options and help is always available.

“Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50” according to NHS England. This is a heartbreaking men’s health statistic. We don’t want to lose any more husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, uncles and mates.

The Samaratans state that “Only a third of people who die by suicide have been in contact with specialist mental health services in the year before their death.”

These men’s mental health quotes highlight an issue that needs urgent attention, which can no longer be overlooked.

Why is Men’s Mental Health Overlooked?

There are a variety of reasons why male mental health may have been overlooked in the past. Men may be reluctant to get help or speak out and it’s not always easy to know where to start, who to talk to, or how to find the right support. This article aims to help address that.

It can also be hard to open up about your feelings. Stereotypes of masculinity are about being tough, strong, and not showing any emotions or weakness. This can lead to many men silently struggling with depression, feeling ashamed or unable to speak out, which makes it worse.

“Stress is the world’s leading cause of disability” according to the World Health Organization, who found that the mental-health crisis costs $1 trillion a year to the global economy because of lost productivity.

Knowing how to manage stress at work and support emotional wellness in the workplace are so important. There are many options available and you can feel empowered to make the choice about what is best for you.

How to Support Men’s Mental Health

The Important Thing to Remember is that You Are Not Alone

There are people you can talk to about how you feel, people who understand, people who may have been there themselves and have dedicated their life’s work to helping others overcome their greatest challenges.

Here are five such experts who support men’s mental health in various ways

1. Adrian Hanks: is a psychotherapist, counselor, coach, teacher, writer, and Blisspot author of Men’s Health: 7 Ways To Improve Your Health and Wellbeing.

Adrian shares more about his own story in his Men’s Health course:

“I had a pretty rough start to life and was quite a wild teenager and went off the rails… I ended up in Australia in my twenties and started to look at my lifestyle… I saw so many people deteriorating and suffering from dis-ease. I started to attend to my own health and got the sense of the importance of that.”

Adrain shares an analogy of how important health is on many levels – the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. He says that if you imagine these four areas of health like wheels on a car, if one of those is a bit flat or out of alignment, it’s going to be a bumpy ride and eventually you may break down. The aim is to get them all running evenly.

Adrian is one of the experts who generously shared their expertise on the FREE Wellbeing Care Package. This valuable gift features a series of one-hour retreats with world-class wellness leaders and a personal playground of wellbeing for you to enjoy and explore.

Adrian has helped “hundreds if not thousands of people over the last few decades” to improve their health and wellbeing. Through his Men’s Health course, he wants to help you “Get on track and stay on track so that you can become more than you are right now.”
