Recognising men’s health this November
Throughout November organisations across the world recognise International Men’s Day on 19 November and Men’s Mental Health, dubbed Movember by many.
The annual events seek to recognise the impact men have in their communities and raise awareness of men’s wellbeing.
Movember aims to recognise the physical and mental health conditions which can affect men. Mustafa Al-Saadi who works within IAPT Talking Therapies Northants, has taken the time to share his reflections on the importance of men's mental health. In this short and impactful video he explores how mental health difficulties can impact men and seeking support:
