Men in Salford are being asked about their mental health amid calls for a general report.

The project, Men in Mind Salford, is set to “get to grips” with how they can improve men’s mental health in Salford.

Support Councillor, Hannah Robinson Smith, said: “We need this survey and the commission to really get to grips with how we can help men feel mentally well.

“We know many men don’t seek help, and may be struggling to cope as a result. We want to find out how to improve understanding and support available and make a real difference to men’s lives here in Salford.”

The Salford Men’s Mental Health Commission has released a survey asking men in Salford for their views on mental health priorities, local services, and support networks; this information will help create a report with recommendations for the NHS, council services, and voluntary groups.

Sam Cook, Chief Officer at Healthwatch, Salford, said: “This is a great opportunity for men to anonymously share what things they do to help them stay mentally well as well as those things that cause stress and low moods.

“We know more can be done to help men stay mentally well, but in order to work out what that is, we need to hear from men.”

If you would like to take part in the survey call 0161 960 0316 or click here. The survey closes on October 29.
