Male suicide is a public health emergency. In the UK, it is the leading cause of death for men under 50. In 2022, three-quarters of all suicide deaths were male. Despite these alarming statistics, research on why men are at such high risk and how to help them has been scarce.

Dr Susie Bennett has recently completed a 4-year PhD exploring male suicide risk and recovery factors. Her ongoing research is supported exclusively by MANUP?

What to Expect:

In this talk, Dr Susie Bennett will share key findings from her research, shedding light on crucial aspects of male suicide:

• How societal pressures and expectations can heighten men's loneliness and feelings of failure.

• The impact of emotional pain and help-seeking experiences.

• The influence of childhood challenges on men's mental health.

• Practical ways to better support men in crisis include addressing the empathy gap in how society understands and responds to men's pain.
