Men’s Mental Wellness Day

Every Silent Man Has a Story

In South Africa, thousands of men are silently struggling with mental health challenges while facing immense societal pressure to appear strong, unemotional, and resilient. Unfortunately, this silence is costing lives.

According to the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG), men are significantly less likely to seek psychological help compared to women, despite facing high levels of emotional distress.

More concerning, data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Statistics South Africa indicates that men account for the majority of suicide deaths in the country. Studies show that men are approximately 4 to 5 times more likely to die by suicide than women, with suicide being one of the leading causes of death among South African men, particularly those facing unemployment, financial pressure, and social isolation.

Behind every statistic is a father, son, brother, partner, or friend whose pain often goes unseen.
