Men's Mental Health Campaign Surveys 2024

Overview

We want all people in Sandwell to “feel good and function well” to give them the best opportunity to live their life to its full potential. 

Anyone can have poor mental health at any time in their lives. However, people in Sandwell have been shown to have high rates of common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety, as well as more serious mental illness.

Men are less likely to seek mental health support or get support when they are in a mental health crisis. Suicide is the biggest killer of males aged 5 – 49 years in England. In Sandwell 79% of deaths by suicide are men. We want to change this by raising awareness of men’s mental health and enable men to access support sooner.

We understand that you can have good mental health and still have stress and sadness from time to time. But when you're mentally healthy, you're able to cope with the ups and downs of life. When you can’t cope, we want to have support and help available in all of our communities and towns in Sandwell to help you feel better sooner.

To help achieve this, we want to ensure that there is a wide range of community-based mental health support and services for men available in Sandwell. We can only do this by asking men who live and work in Sandwell about their mental health and what services and support are most helpful. We are also interested in hearing the views of others who support men in their personal or work life.

We are also seeking feedback and information from organisations in Sandwell to help us to better understand current provision and services to support men’s mental health and wellbeing.
