Why book this talk about Male Mental Health?
You may know that 3 out of every 4 deaths by suicide in the UK and Ireland are men.
But did you also know that:
-
In 2012 Samaritans warned that talking and talking therapy are not addressing the key factors associated with suicide in men [1]
-
Between 2010 and 2022, the rate of men using talking therapies increased by 50%, and yet the rate of male suicide also increased - by 14% [2]
-
Almost all (91%) middle aged UK men who die from suicide have been in contact with at least one frontline service or agency before their death [3]
...And would you like to know what to do about it?
It's time to take an evidence-based approach to male mental health.
Sharing findings from groundbreaking studies, TEDx speaker and Men's Coach, Ryan Parke connects the dots between hormones, goal setting and mental health in men. Whether you are a man, or simply want to understand the men in your life, Ryan will reveal:
-
Why external factors (like football results) have such a large impact on mood and mental health in men, plus simple ways to prevent it
-
The key warning signs to be aware of in yourself and the men you care about with simple, science-based strategies men can use to improve wellbeing and resilience
-
The role that hormones play in male mental health and practical ways to quickly and significantly improve hormonal health in men
-
His evidence-based framework evolved from over 900 sources and his experience coaching hundreds of men that has been taught to mental health organisations, NHS Trusts and to Ryan's clients
-
Why the current approach to mental health isn't working for men and how we can make male mental health support more engaging, relevant and effective
Designed and delivered by Ryan, this fascinating and inclusive talk is as positive as it is serious. You will leave with answers to many of your deepest questions about male mental health, simple, science-based strategies to improve outcomes for men, and a feeling of hope for the future.
