‘Silent No More’ Campaign - Driving Forward a Scottish Men’s Health Strategy
Why is this important?
Men in Scotland are facing a silent health crisis. They are significantly more likely to die by su***de, experience social isolation, and suffer poorer health outcomes than women—yet why does Scotland still not have a dedicated Men’s Health Strategy?
