Toolkit: A Modern Guide to Men's Mental Health

Three times as many men as women die by suicide - one of the starkest gender gaps in health, and one that’s still widening. Despite progress in mental health awareness, men remain far less likely to seek help.

Today’s men are navigating rapidly evolving expectations of masculinity, intense social comparison online, and increasing disconnection in daily life. These pressures show up differently for everyone, but they rarely show up loudly.

This isn’t just a men’s issue, it’s an everybody issue. When we improve men’s mental health, we all benefit.

This toolkit is for anyone who wants to understand what’s driving the crisis and how to respond; whether you’re supporting a colleague, a friend, or yourself.

Inside, you’ll find:

• The pressures shaping men’s mental health today
• How to spot the signs, in yourself and others
• Ryan Ridgway’s tips for starting a conversation about mental health
• Practical strategies: increasing our sense of purpose, investing in our relationships and improving our emotional literacy
