flag Men in Oxfordshire share mental health struggles in campaign to combat stigma and suicide.

flag Men across Oxfordshire are sharing their mental health challenges in a new campaign by Oxfordshire Mind called Change the Picture, aiming to reduce stigma and encourage open conversations, especially among men who account for 75% of local suicides. flag The initiative features personal stories from men in various professions—such as farming, teaching, and construction—highlighting that mental health struggles can affect anyone, regardless of background or job. flag Participants describe feelings of isolation, hopelessness, and pressure to appear strong, particularly in rural or manual labor industries. flag The campaign emphasizes that seeking help is not a sign of weakness and urges communities to look beyond surface appearances, especially during winter months. flag Resources and support are available at oxfordshiremind.org.uk/changethepicture and through a helpline at 01865 247788.
