Globally, the prevalence of anxiety and depression increased by 25% in the first year of the pandemic, placing a strain on support services (WHO, 2022). Accessible resources and innovative solutions are easing this issue, alleviating the emotional toll on young people, breaking taboos around male mental health, and democratising vital healthcare provisions for everyone.

Arranging Access: Support for Everyone

Beyond the expected pressures associated with growing up, pandemic-era grief, isolation and missed milestones cast a long shadow over young people’s emotional states. Globally, 14% of 10- to 19-year-olds experience mental health conditions, which threaten to impact them throughout their lives (WHO, 2021). Literacy about such issues, early symptom detection and mood-boosting interactions can help plug resource deficits.

The Mind & Masculinity

In the UK, 60% of men are comfortable talking to a doctor about their mental health – but this drops to 40% among 18- to 25-year-olds (Mintel, 2022). To improve future wellness outcomes for young male consumers, campaigns are tackling loneliness, spotlighting postpartum depression in fatherhood, and boosting body image.

Arranging Access: Support for Everyone

Services that provide ongoing mental welfare support are stretched, pushing those seeking help to the edge. New emergency resources, alternative therapies and supplementary employment models are helping build emotional resilience beyond the healthcare system, while more importance is being placed on a clear understanding of psychological conditions and their pathologies.
