  • 3 out of 4 suicides in the UK are male. Yet men are half as likely to seek help with their mental health.
  • 4,984 take their own lives each year according to ONS data. That’s 14 every day. 14 yesterday. And 14 more today. It’s our biggest killer of under 45s.
  • 1 father, brother, husband or son killing himself today is tragic.
  • 14 is an emergency.

We conducted a one-year study to create the first-of-its-kind university mental health rankings. The report compiled by leading consultants Advance Pro Bono revealed concerning findings on mental health support for students. Our HUMEN University Mental Health League Table gives students the power to find the top universities who prioritise student wellbeing, ranked using a robust study of over 7,200 students sharing their levels of satisfaction and engagement, combined with in-depth data on mental health budgets and staff training. Our table uses a handy index scoring system making it easy to compare one university with another. HUMEN’s report was covered by the Guardian, Radio 1, Sunday Telegraph and hundreds more.

Our Rise Against Suicide Sunrise Walk saw TV coverage on all of BBC, ITV and Sky. Thousands of us will walk again later this year to Rise Against Suicide, both in memory of husbands, fathers, brothers and sons we’ve lost, and to create a better future for us all.
