AWARE NI: Men’s Health Week
June 9, 2025It’s International Men’s Health Day – and this year’s theme is ‘Shoulder to Shoulder’.
It’s a call to stand side by side, supporting one another in our mental health journeys. At AWARE NI, we’re here to help – through free support groups, educational programmes, fundraising, and campaigns that remind men they don’t have to face things alone. And we’re proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with Foyle Search and Rescue, who are on the front lines every week supporting individuals in crisis and saving lives along the riverbanks of Derry.
Men’s mental health is a serious issue in Northern Ireland. The statistics are stark — men in Northern Ireland are self-harming at nearly double the rate of men in the Republic, and three out of four suicide deaths are male.
Too many men are suffering in silence. We want to change that – by helping you spot the signs in yourself or someone you care about, and showing you where to find support.
No matter our background, we’re stronger together – shoulder to shoulder.
