Question
How did the Welsh Government mark International Men's Day?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing
The Welsh Government recognises that whilst our intention is to provide safe and appropriate healthcare for everyone in Wales, there are some specific groups who have differing healthcare needs, including men.
We continue to raise awareness of the easy-to-access support available, such as our CALL helpline, which can offer confidential emotional support and signposting to local support and the 111 press 2 service for urgent mental health support. Forty-one percent of callers to 111 press 2 are male, demonstrating support is being accessed by men.
