The National Advancing Men’s Mental Health in the Workplace Conference 2025

Date: 2025
Location: London

Overview

With men accounting for three-quarters of suicides in the UK, and workplace stress, burnout, and cultural stigmas disproportionately impacting men, there is a clear need for organizations to prioritize reducing the stigma around male mental health in the workplace.

Government Initiatives

• September 2023: The government unveiled a comprehensive five-year plan aimed at:

  • Lowering the suicide rate
  • Improving support for self-harm survivors
  • Better aiding those who have lost a loved one to suicide

  This ambitious strategy includes over 100 actionable items, led by various government departments, the NHS, the voluntary sector, and national partners, with a focus on substantial progress within the next two years.

• November 2024: The UK government announced plans for its first-ever men’s health strategy, focusing on:

  • Mental health
  • Suicide prevention
  • Heart disease
  • Cancer

  This is part of its 10-year Health Plan.
