The Voices of Men | Men's Mental Health Documentary
Documentary on mental health, spotlighting men's mental health in a raw and honest way to help fight the stigma attached to men expressing their emotions.
I asked men to send in recordings detailing their experiences with their mental health, giving them a safe platform to open up as honestly as they want. We must normalise men talking about their feelings, which I hope this film will contribute to.
In the UK, men are three times more likely to die by suicide than women. In the Republic of Ireland, the rate is four times higher among men than women.
Mental health is invisible and you don't know who may be struggling. Check up on your family and friends - even the most charismatic ones or the ones you don't speak to as much anymore. Don't take anyone for granted. Be more considerate with what you say to people. Keep the conversation going.
