International Men’s Day Speakers
International Men’s Day highlights the “positive value men bring to the world, their families, and communities”. This important day will be celebrated on Tuesday, 19th November 2024. It recognises the significant contributions men make to society and challenges harmful stereotypes. The event also focuses on mental health and paternal rights, aiming to unite men in the pursuit of gender equality.
Men’s mental health often receives less attention than it should. Only 36% of referrals to NHS talking therapies are for men. This statistic reveals a large gap in mental health support for men. International Men’s Day provides a chance for organisations to promote positive mental health among male employees. It encourages open conversations about mental wellbeing. By recognising the challenges men face, we can help reduce the stigma around mental health issues.
The event also addresses toxic masculinity. It urges men to talk openly about their mental health struggles and seek support. These discussions empower men and create healthier, more supportive communities for everyone.
