Men’s Mental Health Awareness

November 19, 2021 by Brooklyn Halladay Leave a Comment

In November the annual international movement, Movember, takes place. Organised by the charity of the same name, Movember aims to raise awareness for men’s mental health issues. 

mentalhealth.org quotes that ‘[i]n England, around one in eight men has a common mental health problem such as depression, anxiety, panic disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)’. With so many affected it’s important we makes moves to remove the stigma attached to men talking about their mental health. (You can read more stories about this on Mind). 

To start conversations, and get you thinking about mental health, particularly how it affects men, SGS LibraryPlus+ has put together a list of resources from fiction and film to theory and biography that speak to the topic.
