As we approach International Men's Day on November 19th, it's a moment to reflect deeply on the true essence of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and ensure men and boys are not left out of the conversation. Societal norms often place restrictive expectations on men, influencing how they express emotions and manage well-being. Moreover, male brains behave differently, and cultural and geographical contexts further shape these expectations. It’s essential for all of us to introspect, identify any unconscious biases we may hold, and actively work to address them. Creating psychologically safe spaces not just within the workplace, but everywhere where men and boys can speak up and be heard without judgment is vital. To all men: let’s prioritize both our physical and mental health. Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Remember, you are never alone. #InternationalMensDay #DiversityEquityInclusion #MentalHealthAwareness #PsychologicalSafety #MensHealth #UnconsciousBias #SupportAndStrength #Inclusivity

International Men’s Day Today, we celebrate men´s contributions while also recognizing the mental challenges they face. As a psychologist and leader in Diversity & Inclusion, it’s important to highlight how we can better support men's mental health and encourage open conversations about their well-being. Men are often expected to be strong, self-reliant, and suppress vulnerability, which can make it harder for them to seek help. But being open about emotions and mental health is a sign of strength, not weakness. Let’s also recognize men as active parents and positive agents of change in society. By role modeling positive and inclusive behaviors, men play a key part in shaping a more supportive and equitable world for all. It’s crucial to see men’s identities through an intersectional lens, understanding the different experiences and challenges men face based on culture, background, and community. Let’s keep breaking the stigma, creating safe spaces for all, and supporting to thrive—mentally & emotionally 💙 #InternationalMensDay #MentalHealthAwareness #DiversityAndInclusion #BreakTheStigma #Intersectionality #ActiveParenting

We celebrate International Men’s Day worldwide on 19th November highlighting the positive values men bring to the world, their families and the community. This year’s theme is ‘Positive Male Role Models’ and raising awareness of men’s mental wellbeing. We feel this theme ties in perfectly at CHT with our male carers who are Positive male role models to the young people in their care every day. We asked our carers “what do you think makes a positive male role model?” “For me a positive male role model embodies a lot of different but essential qualities that should inspire and encourage others replicate those qualities in their own approach to things They must demonstrate integrity and Honesty. Even when conversations are hard or actions are detrimental to them. Emotionally intelligent. They are open about their emotions and respect others' emotions equally. Sharing that it's OK to feel what you feel, but not always to act on negative emotions. Compassion and Empathy: They show understanding and care for others, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment. Strong Values. Adhere and promote positive values such as respect, responsibility, and fairness Resilience. They can demonstrate the ability to overcome challenges. Growing and developing as a result. They should be the embodiment of these qualities even when no-one is looking.” #InternationalMensDay #WellbeingWednesday #chtcommunity #KeepThePromise #familybasedcare #fostering #fostercare #familybasedcare

Celebrating International Men’s Day Today, on International Men’s Day, we take a moment to recognise the vital contributions men make in our workplaces, communities, and families. But this day is also a time to reflect on the challenges many men face and the importance of creating spaces where they feel genuinely supported, valued, and heard. In the UK, men are three times more likely to die by suicide, and 1 in 5 men don’t feel comfortable talking about mental health at work. These statistics are a stark reminder of why this day matters - it’s not just about recognising contributions, but also about taking action. It’s up to all of us to help create environments where men can be their authentic selves, free from judgment or stigma. That might mean offering real mental health support, opening up conversations around fatherhood and caregiving, or simply showing appreciation for the roles men play every day. Let’s use International Men’s Day as an opportunity to challenge stereotypes, break down barriers, and start meaningful conversations. Together, we can foster inclusion and make a difference - one step at a time 🙌 #InternationalMensDay #MentalHealth #Inclusion #Support #Community
