Many fathers live in poverty and without any support, and then ..... It happened three years ago "The mum of a debt-ridden dad has told how she believes he killed himself with just £4.61 in his bank account - after waiting weeks for Universal Credit. Single dad-of-three Phillip Herron, 34, posted a heartbreaking photograph of himself in tears in his car, after falling behind with rent and trying to repay £20,000 debts — including payday loans of over 1,000 per cent interest He applied for government help but the month-long wait for Universal Credit drove him deeper into debt. “That was the final nail in his coffin,” said his grieving mum Sheena Derbyshire, 54".

Of the approximately 800,000 total suicide victims, 75% are male, but there is no adequate global policy to prevent and support men.

About 650,000 men take their own lives each year, but there is no political will to solve this global problem. "The following is an edited version of a letter sent to a local politician by Daniel Perrins. ”Honourable Member Shaw, The cart's weight, when you saw me at the festival, was about 200 pounds. Completely empty it takes three people to lift it into the back of a pick-up truck. But I haul it by myself, for hundreds of miles at a time, up and down large hills, through inclement weather. I haul it along with the emotional weight of the mothers and daughters who buried sons and fathers to suicide. “Terrible struggles to ponder, nightmares to remember. Certain situations will trip me remembering that phrase ‘poor widdle baby needs to see a doctor’.” I ponder every year if this is the year I am ready to tell my story. Perhaps now it is, Honourable Member Shaw". ..................................

Through in-depth ethnographic interviews with 16 less well-off middle aged men across the UK and Ireland, Samaritans spoke about the challenges they faced and the events which lead them to crisis point. There exists a vacuum of responsibility in which opportunities to engage and support these men, before they hit crisis point, were neglected. Samaritans report, 'Out of sight, out of mind: Why less well-off, middle-aged men don’t get the support they need'

This is one of the most pressing social issues to be resolved and other governments around the world should follow suit. "The Tasmanian Liberal Government has released the first Implementation Plan of the new Tasmanian Suicide Prevention Strategy, which includes a focus on reducing male suicide in Tasmania."

Great article about what and what men today are struggling with and why it happens. "Men are not just "struggling with their manhood", they are in a crisis so serious that many of them are giving up on life. Suicide is now the number one killer of men under the age of 45 - a staggering 4303 men took their lives last year and three out of every four suicides were male. Every day, between us waking up in the morning and going to bed at night, 13 men end their lives. This is a catastrophe. Statistics released every year point to men's devastating, much hidden reality - according to The Men and Boys Coalition, 86% of rough sleepers in England are male as are 84% of the the country's 'hidden homeless', 95% of prisoners are male, and men are more likely to be sent to prison, and receive longer sentences than women for the same crimes. We also know that over two thirds of murder victims and 73% of robbery victims are male, that boys are falling behind girls at school and that men's drop out rates from university are alarmingly high. Most importantly for many, in 96% of court cases, men are the ones who apply to court for access to their children".

Read how badly treated a man who makes society aware of men's problems about the consequences that lead them to suicide. If this man had talked about female suicide, we are sure he would have been treated differently.

Increasing awareness of society in the UK regarding the problems men experience due to discrimination. "In the Sunday Express, Matt O’Connor of Fathers4Justice said: “As we mark international Men’s Day, my question to the Government is when are they going to take action and say that men need a champion?” The key findings of the Poll by Whitestone Insight are: 72 per cent who expressed an opinion want a Minister for Men Almost 1 in 4 knew several or many fathers treated unfairly by the family courts Seven in 10 believe it is better to grow up with a dad Three in 10 know a man or men who have committed suicide " More in link www.fathers-4-justice.org/2023/11/international-mens-day-72-of-public-want-a-minister-for-men/#men #women #equal #father #discriminationmen #discrimination #segregation #falseaccusations #domesticviolence #childsupport #equalparenting #parentalalienation #divorce #fraud #falseaccusationsrape #fatherless #childsharecustody #fahtermatter #law #brokenlaw #familylaw #court #depression, #depressionafterdivorce #Divorce #effectsofdivorce #health #masculinity #mentalhealth #suicidal #suicide #equalpay #equalwork #menrights #humanrights

One of the largest football clubs in England got involved in helping men. This approach helps, but the root causes of suicide need to be addressed. "Andy’s Man Club were the perfect partners: their clubs have been meeting all over the UK for seven years, guided by the simple maxim: “It’s OK to talk.” “We could see they were making a real difference to men all over the country,” says Wilson. “We knew they had often collaborated with sports clubs and thought it would be a good fit. So we committed to start hosting meetings for them every Monday night at the Etihad.” Suicide remains the biggest killer of men under the age of 50 in the UK. Over 4,000 men took their own lives in 2022 (accounting for around three quarters of all suicides). Talking helps – but getting men to open up about their feelings is notoriously hard. Football offers a powerful solution. “Although things are changing, there is still a stigma among men when it comes to talking about mental health,” says Luke Ambler, the founder and chief executive of Andy’s Man Club. “But if your football club is inviting you to talk, that’s a huge incentive. There is a trust that exists between a football club and its fans. If City reaches out to their fans and tell them about us, it immediately breaks down barriers and makes men who might otherwise have been skeptical consider getting involved.” More in link www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/wellbeing/mental-health/man-city-football-club-male-suicide/

Instead of creating a narrative about toxic masculinity that has a negative impact on men, I would say adapt the system to support men, rather than trying to force them to change, making the situation even worse. The author also drew attention to the factors influencing suicide, and one of these reasons concerns discrimination against men, especially in family courts. Which ultimately negatively impacts men's health and suicide rates. "In today's social climate, boys and men are bombarded with conflicting messages. On one hand, we encourage them to express their emotions and "open up!” On the other hand, we tell them to “shut up!” and "act like a man." This contradictory messaging has contributed to the significant mental health crisis among boys and men today. The prevailing anti-male sentiment in society has played a detrimental role in exacerbating the issues. We must recognize and address the systemic and normalized discrimination against men in society, which is unjust and has a detrimental impact on them. We need to approach this issue with humility and actively work towards creating positive change with an inclusive environment that nurtures and supports everyone, including our boys and men. The concept of "toxic masculinity" has largely had negative consequences rather than positive. While some may argue that it simply refers to harmful behavior, the term has been misused and manipulated to serve various agendas, creating the perception that masculinity itself is inherently toxic. This has unfairly stigmatized men and created the false narrative that they’re inherently toxic and are in need of change. Ironically, a term that was supposedly intended to support men's mental health has actually contributed to their declining mental well-being."
