Each week, Ben Hopkinson looks back at what’s happened the past 7 days and what was trending on Twitter with the Maritime Hashtag Minute. This week’s #MaritimeHashtagMinute was #InternationalMensDay, celebrated yearly on 19th November - this year being Wednesday. It is a global awareness day for issues that men can face including suicide, mental health and homelessness; but also to celebrate achievements and contributions. View the Tweets below:
Talking saves lives and we need to be honest about our mental health. It’s alright for boys and men to cry. Mental heath is just as important as physical health. #InternationalMensDay #MentalHealth pic.twitter.com/9jIpwG10rW

This #InternationalMensDay we’re reminded that suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK. We all have mental health, and talking about it matters. Check in with the men in your life. Reach out. A small conversation can make a big difference. pic.twitter.com/xtbR6EvlIw

Thank you to men who support our work and to women who support men going through domestic abuse. Thank you to the men in our team too. #InternationalMensDay pic.twitter.com/4R2Y6Vqsmm

The stigma around mental health is still prevalent, with men more likely to bottle up their problems than share them.
Whether it's going out with a mate, chatting with a family member, or seeking out practical help, it's always okay to talk 🫂 pic.twitter.com/s3WTLSgIr0

We aren’t a bad bunch really, (some are) we just need a hug now and again, we are simple creatures really
Check in on a man today and make sure they are ok and don’t just take “I’m fine” for an answer
Have a great day folks 😊😊👍 pic.twitter.com/1wOsfpBDfY
