Men's mental health support is available in Warrington because it's needed.

Around 1 in 8 men experience a common mental health condition such as depression or anxiety. Yet they're often less likely to seek support for mental health concerns compared to women.

In the UK, suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50, highlighting the urgent need for open conversations and accessible support.

In Warrington there are several support groups and ways to seek help.

We speak to mental health advocate, Lee Payton about his journey, Andy's Man Club and what support is available in our town.
