💙 Men’s Mental Health Week 2026
15th–21st June
This week we’re supporting Men’s Mental Health Week, a national campaign raising awareness, reducing stigma, and encouraging men to take small, meaningful steps to look after their mental and physical wellbeing.
Men often face unique pressures — and many feel they must cope alone. Yet men are far less likely to seek help, and in 2023, around three‑quarters of suicides in England and Wales were male. This week encourages open conversations about stress, masculinity, and emotional wellbeing, reminding us that reaching out is a sign of strength.
🔍 Key Messages This Year
Small steps matter — booking a health check, talking to a friend, taking a break, or acknowledging stress can make a real difference.
Side‑by‑side conversations — many men open up more easily while walking, driving, gaming, or working on something together.
Spotting physical signs of stress — stress often shows up physically first: poor sleep, irritability, headaches, restlessness, or exhaustion.
Humour can help — humour can be a healthy coping tool, as long as it doesn’t replace real conversations when things feel overwhelming.
🧰 Support and Resources
Organisations such as Men’s Health Forum and Mates in Mind offer free tools including:
Mental health quizzes
Stress‑awareness guides
Posters and workplace resources
Videos on managing stress and anxiety
The NHS also provides practical techniques such as breathing exercises, mindfulness, and self‑help tools for managing low mood and anxiety.
