Men’s Health

On average, men are dying 4.5 years earlier than women, and this is largely for preventable reasons. By understanding men’s physical health and mental health, we can help increase access to support at the appropriate time.

Body Image
Worrying about your body can be really lonely. In the moment, it feels like you’re the only one who worries about their looks.

And the numbers prove it, with 35% of men aged 16 – 40 saying they are unhappy with how they look, and 48% saying they have struggled with their mental health because of it.
