our mission is simple.
It's concerning that males are 3.9 times more likely to die by suicide in Wales than females* And it's an astonishing fact that male suicide rates in Wales have outpaced England over decades*
We want to do something about it.
A place to turn for help.
Too many men in Wales are struggling in silence, and too many are dying by suicide. Despite increased awareness, stigma, isolation and uncertainty about where to find help remain major barriers. Support can feel confusing and disconnected. We exist to make support easier to find — bringing together trusted resources, community, connection and practical help in one place.
HELPU is the national platform for men's mental health in Wales — raising awareness, reducing suicide and ensuring men can access the support, connection and hope they need, when they need it.
What we do.
Life can be tough, but struggling alone doesn’t have to be part of the story. helpu. helps men access support, build meaningful connections and find practical ways to improve their mental wellbeing. By reducing isolation and encouraging early support, we aim to prevent crisis, reduce suicide and help men live healthier, more connected lives.
A non-profit kickstarted by those who want to make a change.
Why we do it.
We have been founded by those who have been where you have been. Yes its that simple. we want to make a difference so those around us suffer less. We have been impacted by the deaths of those around us due to suicide and we have each suffered with our mental health in some way. It means a lot to us to help others.
