Senedd Member for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, Samuel Kurtz has highlighted the real challenges facing men’s health and mental health at the moment, by raising the subject at the Welsh Parliment chamber. “In meeting with Samaritans volunteers with Paul Davies MS in Haverfordwest, I was struck by one statistic - of the 436 suicides in Wales during 2024, 77.2% of those were men,” commented Mr Kurtz. “That’s over three quarters who were fathers, sons, brothers. Loved ones. The Centre for Social Justice’s report ‘Lost Boys: State of the Nation’ brought to light some of the real challenges facing men at the moment. “We need to talk about men’s health and men’s mental health. Break down the stigma and get men and boys talking.”
