Men's Minds Matter



The Psychological Well Being of Men

Men's Minds Matter is a not for profit organisation dedicated to the prevention of suicide through building psychological resilience and emotional strength.

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. Surprising given that:

  • Men currently make up 76% of all suicides in the UK
  • 42% of men have considered suicide
  • Three quarters of missing people are male
  • 90% of homeless people in London are men 
  • Men are more likely to be victims of violence
  • 5% of men (compared to 7% of women) have reported being a victim of domestic violence
  • Men make up the vast majority of the prison population
  • Men experience more substance abuse and dependence
  • Men account for 79% of drug related deaths 
  • 800 000 deaths per year to suicide. Leading cause for young people and 12th leading cause of death globally
  • The outward expression of male distress causes significant problems for other men, women and children

We are passionate about reducing suicide rates through the development and provision of psychological interventions that prevent suicide.
