Male su***de in Wales. Higher than England. Again…
Today’s latest figures from the Office for National Statistics highlight a persistent disparity. Men in Wales have historically faced higher su***de rates than men in England, while men are also far more likely to die by su***de than women.
Behind every statistic is a person, a family and a community affected by loss.
We’ve had reports, strategies and promises. We need action that reaches men before they reach crisis point.
At HELPU, we connect men across Wales to support, community and stories that remind them they’re not alone.
Connection Is Protection. Our ambition: zero su***des among men in Wales.

Note: Figures based on registrations count deaths registered in that year, which may differ from the year the death occurred. The latest headline figures do not, by themselves, establish whether male su***de in Wales rose or fell in 2025.
