Synopsis

Mental health problems affect both men and women, in fact, every one in four of us. However, it has been widely accepted for some time that men are much less likely to seek help from a doctor or mental health specialist, as they traditionally expect themselves to be competitive and successful, tough and self-reliant and can find it difficult to admit that they are feeling fragile and vulnerable. This book aims to build on the current progressive movement by supporting men and those that care about them - be that a partner, friend, family member or colleague - by providing insight, advice, and tips on what can be done at a very practical level to make men's mental health much more positive.

About this title

Review:

"It's great to see a book that's focusing on this often neglected but important topic. Mens' mental health is challenging! I found the content extremely practical; easy to dip in and out of a variety of topics that are bite size and accessible. Another milestone in breaking down the stigma that surrounds mental health." --Louise Aston, Wellbeing Director, Business in the Community (BITC) "This is an outstanding book on helping men cope better with their mental health, written by two very knowledgeable practitioners in the field. It is a must-read by all who want to enhance their mental well-being and health." --Professor Sir Gary Cooper, CBE, 50th Anniversary Professor of Organizational Psychology and Health at ALLIANCE Manchester Business School "Male mental health is still rarely talked about, with men and boys often struggling in silence. This book is a welcome and important contribution to a critically important discourse. Honest, accessible, respectful: it is the ideal resource for all men and boys, as well as those in a supporting role." --Dr. Andrew Reeves, Chair, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy
