Motion text

That this House notes the end of Men's Health Week which was a timely reminder that prioritising health is crucial for personal wellbeing for all men and that men face unique challenges when it comes to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health; highlights the isolation that many farmers feel and thanks the Young Farmers Club and Ulster Farmer's Union for the work they do to address loneliness and mental health help for farmers; and reminds men that whilst the promotional week may have finished help is still available, you are not alone, that the idea that mental health concerns reflect weakness is a myth and reaffirms the fact that seeking help is a sign of strength.
