Men’s Mental Health: Why Generic Wellbeing Fails Half the Workforce

Thursday 26th November 2026,

1:25 PM

Men remain significantly harder to reach through conventional wellbeing programmes and the gap is widening. This panel is a direct, unvarnished conversation about why that is, what approaches have broken through, and what the workplace can realistically do. Contributors address the cultural and social dynamics that make men reluctant to engage, what peer-led and community-based approaches look like in practice, and the difficult question of how to create safe spaces before a crisis point rather than after.
