When it comes to #malesuicide prevention, things have changed. For years now, it has been spoken about and advocated for, with endless time, effort, good will, and (some) money, invested and raised to stop men ending their lives. But as for the data, sadly, very little has changed; in fact, 2025 male suicide rates in the UK were the worst this century. So whilst the well meaning campaigns, hashtags, and days of awareness come from a good place, and mean well, they are not enough, and aren’t seeming to have the impact we had hoped for. What needs to change, I do not know… But what I do know, is that the solution comes from one place – and that is, from the words and wisdom of suicidal men, and bereaved families themselves. Without such insight and lived experiences placed into the very heart of male suicide prevention, we can expect nothing to change for many more years to come. So when will we listen to these men, excavating their heartbreaking insights, and using their lived experience to reshape the next generation of male suicide prevention? What do you think?
