November is Men's Health Awareness Month, a chance to shine a light on men's mental health, break down stigma, challenge the barriers that can stop men from opening up and remind them that support is available. 💙
Men can experience anxiety, depression, stress, loneliness and feelings of isolation, but may find it difficult to talk about how they're feeling or know where to turn for help. Work, relationships, family life, financial worries and the pressures of becoming a parent can all take their toll on mental health. But whatever you're going through, you don't have to struggle alone.
The latest ONS figures show that men in England and Wales were more than three times as likely as women to die by su***de in 2025.
At CPSL Mind, your local mental health charity, we're here for you. We want every man to know that support is available, that it's okay to talk about how you're feeling, and that you don't have to wait until things become overwhelming to reach out.
We offer a range of support for men across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and South Lincolnshire, including:
💙 One-to-one support and someone to talk to.
💙 Peer support groups and opportunities to connect with others, share experiences and feel less alone.
💙 Dedicated support for dads and new fathers through our Dads Matter service.
💙 Wellbeing activities, workshops, courses, help and advice to support your mental health.
This month, we're encouraging everyone to check in with the men in their lives. Ask how they're really feeling, make time to listen and create opportunities for honest conversations. Sometimes, knowing someone is there and genuinely wants to hear how you're doing can make a real difference. Let's keep talking and make it easier for men to open up about their mental health without fear of judgement.
Whatever you're facing, we're here to listen, offer support and help you find the right help for you. 💙
