Men's Health Week. Make it count.

Sign The Dad Shift’s petition for improved paternity leave today
Paternity leave isn’t just a nice-to-have. It means dads get crucial opportunities to bond with their newborns. Children grow up with present and engaged fathers, and are less likely to develop emotional and behavioural problems. And parenting duties are shared between parents. This Men’s Health Week, demand greater paternity leave.
Sign our partner, The Dad Shift’s, petition for improved paternity leave now.
The evidence is clear
Fatherhood and mental health
Around 1 in 10 fathers globally experience postnatal depression. Most are never asked about it, and even fewer seek help. When dads struggle, the whole family feels it.
Men don't ask for help. But they can change.
Globally, women are 50 per cent more likely to receive effective mental health treatment than men. That's not because men don't struggle. Rather, the systems, the stigma, and the silence get in the way. Men's Health Week is about changing that.
The silent crisis
Every minute of every day, a man dies by suicide. 4 out of 5 suicides are by men. While it’s not inevitable, it won't change until we start talking.
Real change. Real stories. Real resources.
