If you know me you will know that improving the lives of people who suffer from poor mental health is my passion. Preventing or reducing suicide for people with undiagnosed clinical or environmental conditions is particularly close to my heart. On average 1 man dies by suicide, every minute of every day, globally. Besides the virus, mental ill-health will be the single biggest crisis we will be faced with as a result of COVID-19. The latest ONS figures have shown that depression has doubled during the Coronavirus pandemic.HUMEN is the charity leading a movement to prevent men from suffering in silence and dying too young by improving and maintaining men's mental health, through The HUMEN Space. Anonymous and non-clinical spaces across the UK for men to talk, listen and connect on a regular basis. HUMEN had to close all of their Spaces across the UK but quickly transitioned online to continue to provide this lifeline to men all over the world. Since the pandemic they have continued to provide this vital support every single week, despite being significantly impacted by the £4billion the charitable sector has lost as a result of the pandemic.76% of all UK suicides are male that's why I'm taking on the Challege 76.
