The men’s wellbeing project: promoting the well-being and mental health of men

What is it about?

Men's mental health is a big concern across the UK. Men do not engage with mental health services for many reasons, and there is a growing need to move support for men's mental health needs into the community. We delivered a project aimed at men's wellbeing through community events and football groups offering mental health support. We also created a community partnership of charites, health and councils to help identify and support local men's mental health needs. Overall, we found that men attended the public events and the football groups. They reported an increase in their wellbeing and social networks, and increased their engagement in health services.
