Why Celebrate International Men’s Day?
Coinciding with Movember, International Men’s Day (IMD) – 19th November –International Men’s Day provides a platform to highlight men’s achievements and contributions to society, while also addressing the challenges they face. This observance aims to promote positive male role models, foster discussions on men’s health and well-being, and encourage conversations about gender equality and inclusivity.
By recognising International Men’s Day, we can create awareness and promote dialogue on issues that affect men in various aspects of life. It allows us to acknowledge their strengths, embrace diversity, and work towards creating a more equitable and supportive environment for all. Let us come together to celebrate the positive impact of men and address the issues that matter most to them on this significant occasion.
With ‘Toxic Masculinity‘ said to be one of the main reasons why men are less likely to seek medical advice, International Men’s Day (IMD) aims to promote a different narrative. It seeks to empower men, encouraging them to prioritize their well-being and feel assured when seeking support. By doing so, IMD equips men with valuable tools to become positive role models for future generations, fostering a healthier and more supportive environment for all.

It’s probably unfair to hero just one of our Inspiring International Mens Day Speakers, however, Roman has probably created the greatest waves of late within the media to highlight the issues:
Featured Speaker – Roman Kemp | International Mens Day Speakers
Whilst best known for being a radio DJ and TV presenter, Roman Kemp’s work on male mental health, depression, anxiety and suicide is fast eclipsing his media career. In 2020, his friend and colleague Joe Lyons took his own life after silently battling with mental health difficulties. Shocked by this, Roman has made it his mission to ensure everyone – particularly men – is able to speak up about their problems and to seek help before it’s too late. He brought this to the mainstream through his BBC3 documentary Our Silent Emergency.
Since this sad time, Roman has spoken at universities, and companies about male mental health and suicide, and has teamed up with the mental health charity MIND to promote the importance of speaking out.
