M.E.N.S

The M.E.N.S. Society is a men-only community built by men, championed by mothers, created to give men a space where they can finally speak openly, feel valued, and be understood. Our name reflects our mission: M stands for Men’s Mental Health, E for Men’s Expression, N for Men’s Networking, and S for Men’s Support. Everything we do centres on breaking the silence that has held so many men back from reaching out, opening up, or asking for help.

The reality is harsh but undeniable: men are struggling — quietly, silently, and far too often alone. In 2021, 4,704 men in England, Wales, and Scotland lost their lives to suicide. That’s an increase from 2020, rising from 4,500 to 4,704. Put simply, that’s 13 men every single day. Thirteen fathers, brothers, sons, friends — gone.

And part of the problem is access. According to the Men’s Mental Health Forum, a 2017 analysis found that men are far less likely to access mental-health services. Only 36% of referrals to IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) are men — meaning thousands of men go without the support they need until it’s too late.

These aren’t just statistics. They are reminders of why this society exists. Men deserve a space where they can talk without fear, judgment, or pressure — a space where value and self-worth are restored, where connection replaces isolation, and where support isn’t seen as weakness but strength.

Don’t become another statistic.
Break the silence. Protect your mental health. Join the M.E.N.S. Society.
