The University College London Medical School are running two important mental health surveys
One is on thinking related to suicide, the other on your preferences when dealing with mental health. Can you help? Each survey takes about 20 minutes.
They've asked us to post the following:
Survey on types of thinking related to feeling suicidal.
It is normal for people to feel down from time to time, but for some people this may become unhealthy. The aim of this anonymous and confidential survey is to identify the kinds of factors associated with suicidal feelings in men and women.
The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete and you can find out the overall results of the study after the study has finished. If you would like to participate in the survey, or for further information, please follow this link: http://www.psytoolkit.org/cgi-bin/psy2.0.7/survey?s=hKQtB
The study has ethical approval from UCL.
Preferences for dealing with mental health issues
People often choose to cope with problems such as anxiety and depression in various ways, for example, seeking help from friends, self-help books, or a mental health professional. This anonymous and confidential survey is about what makes people decide to seek help and what kind of help they decide to choose. We are also interested in whether men and women make these decisions differently. The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete and you can find out the overall results of the study after the study has finished. If you would like to participate in the survey, or for further information, please follow this link http://www.psytoolkit.org/cgi-bin/psy2.0.5/survey?s=Hv6RX
The study has been approved by the UCL Research Ethics Committee.

The Men’s Health Forum need your support It’s tough for men to ask for help but if you don’t ask when you need it, things generally only get worse. So we’re asking. In the UK, one man in five dies before the age of 65. If we had health policies and services that better reflected the needs of the whole population, it might not be like that. But it is. Policies and services and indeed men have been like this for a long time and they don’t change overnight just because we want them to. It’s true that the UK’s men don’t have it bad compared to some other groups. We’re not asking you to ‘feel sorry’ for men or put them first. We’re talking here about something more complicated, something that falls outside the traditional charity fund-raising model of ‘doing something for those less fortunate than ourselves’. That model raises money but it seldom changes much. We’re talking about changing the way we look at the world. There is nothing inevitable about premature male death. Services accessible to all, a population better informed. These would benefit everyone - rich and poor, young and old, male and female - and that’s what we’re campaigning for. We’re not asking you to look at images of pity, we’re just asking you to look around at the society you live in, at the men you know and at the families with sons, fathers and grandads missing. Here’s our fund-raising page - please chip in if you can.
