It is estimated that mental health disorders are attributed to 14.3% of deaths worldwide, or approximately 8 million deaths each year 

​

Suicide is the #1 cause of death in men in their 40's

Males suicides have consistently accounted for three quarters of all suicides in the UK since the mid 1990's.

​

Studies have shown that 20% of adults in the UK feel ashamed of parts of their body, 34% feel down or low and 19% feel disgusted.

Feeling insecure about your intelligence, your position in life, the way you look or any other part of what makes you who you are, can lead to serious mental health issues which can have a massive impact on your life and overall wellbeing.
