Are millions of men at risk of their mental health struggles?

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, a new campaign has been launched in collaboration with Drinkaware and Andy’s Man Club, aiming to highlight how alcohol and mental health are closely intertwined.

Research by Drinkaware, the alcohol harm reduction charity, has revealed that:

• 58% of middle-aged men report using alcohol as a coping mechanism.
• 1 in 5 say they struggle to open up without the aid of alcohol.
• 85% haven’t had a serious conversation about their drinking in the past year.
• 70% haven’t discussed their mental health either.

Aston spoke to Karen Tyrell, CEO of Drinkaware.
