Today’s International Men's Day, and here at TC Group, we wanted to focus on the importance of men's mental health. ♂️ Priory Group reported that 77% of men have suffered from symptoms of common mental health conditions such as anxiety, stress, or depression, but 40% of men have never spoken to anyone about their mental health, 29% of those say they are “too embarrassed” to speak about it, whilst 20% say there’s a “negative stigma”. Talking about mental health can not only reduce the negative stigma but also help individuals feel less isolated and gain the support they need. We wanted to focus on what makes us happy, whether that's spending time with loved ones, doing our favourite hobby, or even celebrating a proud achievement.
