This week marks the start of Men's Mental Health Week. This annual campaign aims to raise awareness of physical and mental health issues disproportionately affecting men and breaking the stigma the prevents many from seeking the help they need.

Organised by the Men's Health Forum, the 2026 campaign focuses on men and pharmacy, helping to highlight how men's interactions with local pharmacies can be a vital, accessible gateway to managing broader health issues including stress and anxiety.

Awareness remains as critical as ever due to:

⬆️High su***de rates - it remains the biggest cause of death for men under 35 in the UK. Four in five of all su***des are by men.

⛔️Reluctance to seek help - up to half of all men will struggle with mental health difficulties at some point, yet fewer than half will seek medical advice.

🧠Internal stigma - between 40-50% of men actively hide their struggles and won't discuss their mental health with friends or family.

There are a growing number of free services across our service areas in West Yorkshire, including Andy's Man Club and Turning Point Talking Therapies.

Here at Focusing Minds, we have two counselling associates in Dominic and Rebecca and, if you feel the time is right for you to enter support, they are available to discuss how their approach can help.

Here at Focusing Minds, we have two main support spaces where we deliver our services: Ossett and Brighouse.

Both spaces are tastefully decorated and designed to encourage relaxation, a safe space where young people can openly discuss and work on any concerns or worries they may have.

If you know a young person who would benefit from support right now, why not reach out to see how we can help?

We'd like to take the opportunity to welcome Hazel to our associates team here at Focusing Minds.

A mind coach and systemic therapist, Hazel brings immense knowledge and experience of mental health, along with significant experience of working within the NHS. She will certainly be an asset to our team and to those she will support.

Alongside coaching support, Hazel's background offering systemic therapy is useful to parents, how they converse and maintain relationships with their children. If this is something you may struggle with as a parent - having difficult conversations or often experience conflict - Hazel's support will be beneficial.

You can discover more about Hazel on our website here:

We are proud of the impact our support has on those we work with.

Take Linda for example, a worried parent who contacted us regarding her child's ability to regulate emotionally and struggle to cope with some daily demands or expectations.

Over time, we were able to work with the young person, support in the development or their self-awareness, confidence and ability to self-regulate. The result?

A happier young person with skills to be able to recognise feelings and emotions, act on them to regulate more effectively and generally feel more confident within themselves as a result.

At Focusing Minds, we stop at nothing when it comes to supporting children and young people.

Take this latest testimonial from Charlotte, who brought her daughter to Focusing Minds to help with anxiety. Prior to even starting, her daughter was incredibly nervous to attend, so we created a low-demand environment and assured that sessions would go at her pace.

Within a matter of seconds, our coach, Andrew, developed a strong working relationship to help offer consistently impactful support.

As we utilise a person-centred approach which underpins all we do, we work with each individual to create an environment for them where they feel accepted, supported and can flourish.

If you know a young person in need of support right now but who may be nervous about starting, why not contact us today to see how we can help?
