Men Minds Project

That's a wrap for this year! In 2024 we celebrated one year of forum sessions (there have 25 so far!); designed and delivered research with 60 young men; and (nearly!) analysed all the data. In 2025 we look forward to producing our outputs and sharing our findings with you all!

We just need one more young man to complete our survey before the end of the day to reach our target...although we'd love to hear from as many of you as possible Please can you help us to improve mental health research for other young men? tinyurl.com/2vkzfbcj

Child mental health has been a longstanding focus of the study’s data collection. We found 14% had experienced emotional or mental health difficulties severe enough that they received a diagnosis or sought professional help. gov.scot/publications/l… #MentalHealthAwareness

🔊Today is the LAST DAY to help us better understand young men's mental health Please take our 5 min anon survey tinyurl.com/2vkzfbcj We are particularly keen to hear from young men who: 🚔have ever been stopped by Police or 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️are LGBTQ+ or 🧡are refugee/migrant Pls RT

It's the final two days of our survey, which has been designed by young men for other young men. Please help us improve understanding of young men's mental health and mental health research. It's anonymous and only takes 5 mins. tinyurl.com/2vkzfbcj

We had a great session yesterday with our partners @YouthLinkScot @ManOnSCIO and @Includem2000 We shared early findings and helped partners think through their organisations from a young man's perspective We also learned who the karaoke stars are and who has never eaten haggis

Amazing work happening in Scotland to promote healthier masculinities with @IainCorbett88 @YouthLinkScot @NKBLScotland By working with young men, bringing them alongside and moving away from the toxic masculinity narrative we can improve things for both women and men in society

It's the final few weeks of our peer research fieldwork, and we've gone yellow for #WorldMentalHealthDay Please share our short anonymous survey with any young men in Scotland who fit our criteria. tinyurl.com/2vkzfbcj #WorldMentalHealthDay2024 #HelloYellow
