Any chance someone will read out their names in Parliament?

I wonder how many of those guys die by suicide as the only way they see they can escape abuse, or due to emotional abuse, especially the slow but relentless drip drip of putdowns eroding their self-esteem? Perhaps we'll never know. x.com/ForOurMen/stat…

Some really interesting points discussed here...

Since 2017 we’ve offered Equal Parental Leave to all our people, but how does it work and what benefits does it bring? Listen to this 🏴‍☠️John Adams 🏴‍☠️ #podcast to hear what Aviva dad Andrew has to say.

Unfortunately, many of us who have engaged with the criminal justice system around abuse/assaults etc find it further traumatising due to lack of awareness. "Coercive control" is a new definition of abuse that the CJS needs to recognise the severity of 💔 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…

Self-harm can look a lot like self-care when we use 'socially acceptable' methods to dull our pain, such as drinking, drugs, gambling or even exercise. So, tonight, ask yourself if when you do any of these; do you feel better or worse for it? Are they acts of self-care or harm?

This 👇🏻 There is always going to be someone worse of but that doesn’t mean we need to minimise & dismiss our own difficult situations and feelings. We can have empathy for others whilst still recognising our own suffering.

Do you tell your male friends that you love them? If not, why not? We all deserve to be reminded. We don’t think it’s normalised enough between boys and girls men 💪🏻

(Let’s presume & hope there’s consent for this) We all know the relationships we have with our barbers are sacred, so we love the genuine smiles & laughter from the gents, here! 😁

"I'm not suicidal except that I am, I think? I have lost the will to live" I know so many of you will be able to relate to this piece. Please know it can & does get better. Please stay. forourmen.com/i-have-lost-th…

To all the boys, and men who have been affected by sexual violence you are not alone💜Our helpline team can offer support & information about local support services in your area thesurvivorstrust.org/our-helpline *Content warning - discusses rape & sexual violence bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Our founder, knowing that weekends and nights can be extremely difficult for so many of us. Hang on, gents. We want you to stay! #ForOurMen

Abuse is never embarrassing & yes, we can be victims to women & other men. Please know there are great organisations such as ManKind Initiative which can help. We’re not alone🙏🏻

Men are 47x at risk of suicide post-risk so it’s really important we acknowledge that as dads we can struggle, just as much as mums (in similar & different ways) & that it’s ok to ask for some support. There are great people such as Fathers Reaching Out 🏴‍☠️John Adams 🏴‍☠️ Dope Black Dads 🙌🏻

PSA when it comes to straight men enjoying sexual “pegging”. His TikTok account is a great one to follow for sex questions & advice 🍆

An incredible tribute for an incredible man. It's ok to talk if you're struggling. We know it's hard & you worry about being judged but please try. We want you to stay! Samaritans CALM & @GiveUsAShout are great places to start!

It is our 20th anniversary today since becoming a charity. We have launched an online Directory of Services (Oak Book) for male victims of domestic abuse. Thank you to everyone who has supported us on our journey. bit.ly/3xzlgSO

We know that the ‘Monday dread’ can make many of us feel overwhelmed at the week ahead, especially if we’re really struggling so break it down to days & hours. Plan good things throughout even if it’s a takeaway coffee or long drive home for some decompression 💪🏻

We know so many men who try & minimise their emotions, even to themselves, because they don’t want to be seen as “weak” but being aware of & managing our emotions can really help our mental health 💪🏻

Friday nights, and the weekend as a whole, can be really tough gents, especially as we head into Christmas and New Year. How are we going to look after ourselves through it?
