New Ben video marks International Men’s Day

21st November 2023

Automotive charity Ben is marking International Men’s Day by raising awareness around the topic of suicide through a short film, ‘Alright mate’.

The theme for International Men’s Day this year is ‘zero male suicide’, with men three times more likely than women to take their own lives.

The eight-minute video aims to challenge perceptions around the issue and raise awareness of the wide range of services Ben offers to those who work or have worked in the automotive industry.

This includes a new online support service dedicated to preventing suicide. www.ben.org.uk/suicideprevention
