Soldier it! Young Men and Suicide: an audit of local service provision and young men’s uptake of services. The study aims to provide an insight into young men’s attitudes to seeking help with a mental health problem and into how agencies working with young people perceive men. The Forum commissioned Working With Men to look in detail at both young men and services in a deprived London borough. The findings suggest that young men are very reluctant users of services while agencies have little understanding of how to target this group. The report concludes with recommendations about how work with young men can more effectively improve their mental health and reduce their risk of suicide.
