Men accounted for three quarters of all suicide deaths in England and Wales in 2023. Social isolation and trouble ‘opening up’ are common symptoms of this mental health crisis.
In this podcast, Sean Nolan explores the men-only mental health services in Greater Manchester, highlighting the challenges and next steps in this crisis.
One of these services is The Shed, a men’s support centre operated by the Salford Foundation. It provides welfare and wellbeing support to men in the city, including those experiencing poor mental health.
Andy’s Man Club is another option for men in Greater Manchester. It hosts local supports groups where men can discuss what’s on their mind – and address the stigma surrounding men’s mental health.
