It is our 20th anniversary today since becoming a charity. We have launched an online Directory of Services (Oak Book) for male victims of domestic abuse. Thank you to everyone who has supported us on our journey. bit.ly/3xzlgSO

Since 2017 we’ve offered Equal Parental Leave to all our people, but how does it work and what benefits does it bring? Listen to this @dadbloguk #podcast to hear what Aviva dad Andrew has to say.

I wonder how many of those guys die by suicide as the only way they see they can escape abuse, or due to emotional abuse, especially the slow but relentless drip drip of putdowns eroding their self-esteem? Perhaps we'll never know. nitter.gq/ForOurMen/status/14213…
We see a lot of people sharing the old statistic of "84 men a week" die by suicide in the UK but latest figures show it's now sadly 94.
When was the last time you checked in on a mate or colleague, or allowed yourself to recognise that you need help yourself? #ForOurMen

Any chance someone will read out their names in Parliament?

Powerful. Everyone deserves the right to open up about how they genuinely feel and this includes those working in emergency services. We can do all we can but it must be top down as well! Thanks for all you do. Take care. #afcb #talkingcherries #tacklethesilence #mentalhealth

@mrjamesob This is from the Ofsted report, 50% and 74% is not "very rare", but more to the point, it is utterly unacceptable to victim blame in this manner and re-iterate one of the key barriers boys face when reporting abuse.
Distracted from work by a bit of idiocy / at best simplistic thinking from @mrjamesob who feels young male victims of sexual harassment / unwanted pics are ‘very rare’ and asked the mum whose son was traumatised by a pic from a girl ‘are you sure he didn’t ask for it ?’ Really.

Dear Men,
If you've been subjected to sexual violence, know that it wasn't your fault.
Even if you became aroused during, it doesn't mean you wanted/liked it; it's a physiological reaction.
Nor 'should' you have been able to fight them off, simply because you're a man.
🙏🏻💕

Men = 70% of police, 96% fire, 62% ambo, 77% coastguard & 52% prison service.
Men = 75% of suicides.
If we're not specifically discussing male mental health in the above & clinical differences of it therein, trauma & suicide prevention training will be minimally effective.

Dear Men,
Some of you might be drinking yourself into oblivion tonight.
Maybe without your family.
Maybe you’re always the “strong” or “funny” one in your group.
Maybe you’re the one everyone else turns to.
You’re allowed to ask for & receive support!
Pls don’t kill yourself🙏🏻

If you need a sign not to kill yourself right now, let this be it.
Life can get better.
It won’t be easy or quick & there’ll be lots more bumps in the road but things can change & there is good help out there.

Sadly it’s now 94; almost 14 a day.
The numbers of male suicide increased in 2018, both due to societal reasons & the test for a coroner to record a verdict of suicide was lowered from a criminal, to a civilian threshold.
Young (18-24) & middle aged (42-49) are most at risk 😔

🎥 Roman Kemp to front young male mental health & suicide documentary
I had the pleasure of filming with @romankemp at the end of last year and I could see how much making this film ‘Our Silent Emergency’ meant to him.
