Boys In Mind

Boys in Mind works in partnership with children, young people and professionals in a range of settings to promote good mental health and prevent suicide, particularly among boys and young men. Our work is guided by our 3 P’s – Prevent, Promote and Participate

• Prevent – Preventing suicide
• Promote – Promoting positive mental health and positive images of boys and men
• Participate – Encouraging active participation of children and young people

We strongly believe that

No one should feel ashamed of: –

• Talking about their feelings
• Asking for help when they’re feeling down or struggling
• Being honest
• Being themselves

However, despite much work to challenge the stigma around mental health, many boys and young men are still unwilling and unable to open up about their difficulties and get help. They suffer in silence and tragically some go on to take their lives.
