Movember | Rise in men using workplace counselling - here's why that's good

In the last decade the number of men reaching out for counselling has risen from 18% to 27%, and recent research by the BACP shows 45% of all workplace counselling sessions are taken by men.

Movember and International Men’s Day have fortunately become a firm fixture in the UK’s annual calendar; a whole month dedicated to raising awareness about men’s health, and it would seem the idea is finally hitting home.

Men account for over ¾ of suicides in the UK and are more likely to resort to damage coping mechanisms, such as drinking, than women.

Traditionally, the issue of mental health has been met with denial or nonchalance and was mostly viewed as a woman’s issue however this is radically changing.
