Men’s International Health is just finished.

Did you know?

  • Men live on average 5 years less than women
  • Twice as many men die of skin cancer as women
  • 72% of men admit to binge drinking

However its not just men’s physical health which gives cause for concern:

  • Northern Ireland has the highest suicide rate in Europe for young men
  • Men are more likely to have an alcohol or drug dependency
  • A third of men have not seen a Doctor in the past year and one tenth have not seen a GP in 10 years
  • Surveys show men believe they will look weak to ask for help and should just “soldier on “

So rather than keep it to yourself discuss  your difficulty with a friend, family member or professional counsellor.

So rather than” putting up with it”  ask for help. What have you got to lose?
