Modern Masculinity and Suicide - Jack Norman Doing Death
-
- Philosophy
“it's so important to recognise when you have a responsibility to a child or your nephew or whoever it is, that actually as individuals we can contribute to that culture change, we can contribute to making this world a better place to live in and the day to day experiences of everyone"
Jack Norman
Suicide is one of the biggest killers in men under 45, this can be caused by many factors including mental health issues, cultural expectations of masculinity, and childhood experiences like grief or abuse.
