That's a wrap for this year! In 2024 we celebrated one year of forum sessions (there have 25 so far!); designed and delivered research with 60 young men; and (nearly!) analysed all the data. In 2025 we look forward to producing our outputs and sharing our findings with you all!
We just need one more young man to complete our survey before the end of the day to reach our target...although we'd love to hear from as many of you as possible Please can you help us to improve mental health research for other young men? tinyurl.com/2vkzfbcj
