Description

Mental health problems affect both men and women -- every one in four of us, in fact. However, it has been widely accepted for some time that men are much less likely to seek help from a doctor or a 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.
