Free Members' Webinar: International Women's Day

Thursday 5 March 2026

Overview of this webinar

Over the last decade, we've been rightly concerned about men's mental health. Men continue to take their own lives at three times the rate of women. However, women are suffering too, and the size and nature of the mental health problems and illness they experience seems to get lost beyond that desperate headline. Under a mental health policy that is largely 'gender-free' what has been happening to women? How are we failing them and what do we need to do about it?
