Girls Mind Too:
Why this work is important for girls and young women
We recognise that there are a growing number of girls and young women who are struggling with their mental health and our focus on boy’s mental health is not intended to dismiss this very troubling trend. However, boys have told us that accessing help and support can present particular challenges for them as a result of unhelpful gender stereotypes, hence our focus on boys and young men.
Girls and women of all ages tell us that this work is important for a number of reasons: –
- They have male family members and friends who struggle to express themselves when they have a problem or who don’t seek support
- They see the effects on male behaviour when feelings and emotions are bottled up
- They are concerned about the high male suicide rate
- They feel that the messages being given out are applicable to girls and young women as well as boys and young men
- They also feel that the films and other resources pave the way to more general conversations about gender-stereotyping and conditioning of girls as well as boys
Asking for help is the bravest thing you can do
Whatever you’re going through right now, you don’t have to face it alone. Help is always available, and things can get better.
