International Men’s Day 19th November 2022

Saturday 19th November 2022 is International Men’s Day, the day that celebrates the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities. The UK themes are to make a positive difference to the wellbeing and mental health of men, promote positive conversations about men, manhood and masculinity and raise awareness of support available to men.

As part of the men’s mental health project in Hastings, we will be distributing resources and support information to local businesses, organisations and projects who support men in Hastings. We will be distributing coasters that were designed by local men to encourage men to seek support to local pubs, cafes and barber shops.

We have also launched our online Padlet and community development fund opportunities. The online Padlet will signpost men to both local and national support, community groups and activities and online resources such as apps, podcasts and online guides. The community development fund opportunity will be shared with local organisations and promoted to local business, community groups and the public whilst distributing resources.

Mind in Brighton and Hove will also be sharing mental health and wellbeing support information for anyone who identifies as male, and whose mental health may be impacted by pressures associated with this.
