This is the Man Down Cornwall campaign video for 2024. Itโ€™s a thought-provoking watch, but thatโ€™s exactly what we want it to be. Far too many men suffer in silence and are not able to talk openly about how they feel about themselves, their lives and the world around them. The stigma of male mental health needs to end. Man Down run talking meetings around Cornwall (UK) for men with mental health concerns. Meetings are run by male volunteers with lived experience of mental health. We run these meetings to help men talk to other men in a safe, supportive environment without judgement. Together we can eradicate the stigma of male mental health. We want this video to be shared far and wide. We want to make men understand that the trauma effect and the destruction left behind after a life is taken is unbearable and utterly devastating for everyone involved. We are so very proud to share this with you all. #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthSupport #cornwall #cornwallmamdown #LetsTalkAboutIt #NeverGiveUp
