Samaritans: Real people, real stories

Summary

In a recent survey from the Samaritans, men gave the reasons why they were struggling to cope:

• 42% of men said that pandemic restrictions have had a negative impact on their mental health.
• 40% of men said that talking to others helped with concerns and worries they had during the pandemic.
• We understand the power of human connection and how talking can help when you’re finding life tough.
