#menshealthweek - Fertility and Loss Resources

For #menshealthweek I would like to share some resources on mental health and fertility and loss. In my work in this area, the constant refrain from men is often that they don’t know what is out there to support them, and that they feel isolated and unsupported.

Below is a selection of links and resources to help signpost anyone affected by these issues to a range of support materials and stories that may help people feel less alone.

Please feel free to copy and paste for your own staff network blogs and event materials as part of any signposting you are doing for this week.?

If you have any materials that you have found helpful, please comment below so I can add them to the growing library of resources.

LOVE that you've posted this. As a woman who's going through her own fertility journey with my partner (who is on the receiving end), and as a coach who works with high achievers who virtually all have their own fertility issues...this is a massive and neglected topic. Most of my coachees are men and have had their own struggles. I couldn't be more passionate about helping. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for sharing this Richard. The topics are very important and you do an excellent role in highlighting the excellent material that is out there to support people. You also speak with great knowldege and empathy on the topics. I would encourage others to take the time to read the resources, and just check you are being kind to yourself and others.
