Breaking Barriers: Iress Leads a Global Conversation on Men’s Health

As November approaches, the spotlight is on men’s health—emotionally, physically, and mentally—because it’s high time we stopped ignoring these critical issues. At MANUP?, we're thrilled to partner with Iress on a global scale to advance the conversation on men’s mental health.

Leading the charge, our very own Dan Somers will be at the forefront, hosting a panel session on ‘Dismantling Social Stigmas.’ This session isn’t just about talking; it’s about challenging the norms and encouraging Iress staff worldwide—from the UK to Canada, France, and South Africa—to confront and openly discuss men's unique challenges. By addressing these issues head-on, we’re not just aiming to improve lives; we’re working towards building a healthier, more balanced mindset for men everywhere.

This is a significant step in our mission to break down barriers and transform how the world views men’s mental health.
