Having left teaching in 2020 after 12 or so years due to poor mental health, I’ve made it a priority to raise awareness of mental health, wellbeing and self care.
- One in 4 adults will experience poor mental health in their lifetime
- Suicide is the biggest cause of death in men under the age of 50
- Around 75% of deaths from suicides each year are men
Mind do wonderful work in the area of mental health but more needs to be done by everyone to raise awareness and break stigmas that currently prevent people speaking about their mental health and getting the support they need.
Remember, there is no health without mental health!
