MALE Mental Health Matters

Hello, we are Shaunah, Brooklynne and Yolanta. We lost our dad in June 2020 due to poor mental health. Our dad was crying out for help from mental health teams for years but wasn’t given the help he clearly needed and it resulted in his death.

We don’t want anyone else to go through the same thing. To feel hopeless and like you have no other choice but to take your life, Like our dad.

Although of course, women have mental health issues too, our aim is to help as many men as we can with mental health issues. There clearly is a stigma around men asking for help and even when they do, they’re not taken seriously. Statistics show men aged between 45-64 years old have had the highest rate of suicide since 2010 in England and Wales alone. We want to have the resources to be able to get suffering men help, whether it be referrals to mental health services, housing assistance, or even just someone to talk to.

We do eventually want to be able to register our own charity, and raise funds to be able to support those in need of help with their mental health, but we can’t do so without your help! Please consider donating.. every donation will be greatly appreciated and one day soon, we might be able to have the resources to help men with mental health issues. Thankyou for reading.
