Schools are back tomorrow.

For some families, tonight will be about getting uniforms ready, bags packed & looking forward to seeing friends again. For others, it might be a quieter or more emotional evening, especially for parents who can’t be there with their children tonight for whatever reason.

Whatever tomorrow looks like for you, be gentle with yourself. The school routine can bring plenty of emotions for parents too, & it’s OK if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed, anxious or simply tired.

Take a breath, take it one day at a time, & remember you’re doing your best, & remember, we're here for you if you need to talk anything through, even if it's not tomorrow, get in touch if we can support you anytime in the future.

Wishing all the children, parents & families a happy and gentle start back tomorrow.

With your support, we’ve made real progress for men with prostate cancer and their loved ones.

Thousands more men can now access life-saving treatment like abiraterone, and the Government has committed a further £18 million to our TRANSFORM trial, accelerating our work to get the evidence needed for a national screening programme for all men at risk.

But this progress is only the beginning.

It’s about time we went further. We need your help to keep pushing for change and create a world where no man dies of prostate cancer.

An Open Letter to our Political Representatives - Who's Listening?

A really thoughtful letter from John about the importance of supporting men’s mental health and the work of our charity; it's important for our charity to give those involved with our charity a voice.

It's a gentle reminder that services like MAN make a real difference in our communities, and that continued support and investment can help ensure that support is there when men need it most.

Sunday morning. A chance to slow down and plan ahead: "You matter too"

Before the week ahead gets in gear, take some time to think about what you need from life.

Could this week be about looking after your health, physically and mentally? Not trying to change everything overnight, but taking it one step at a time.

Possibly: Cut back on the alcohol. Smoke a little less. Reduce the va**ng. Get out for a walk. Try and get extra sleep. Talk to someone about what's bothering you. Take up a new hobby. Learn something you've always wanted to learn. Bake that cake!

Small changes can become big changes when you keep taking the next step, but only you can guide yourself into this one!

And if you're not sure where to start, or you just need someone to talk things through with, we're here for you in complete confidence. Drop us a message, email or give us a call.

Consider making this week about looking after yourself. You matter too.

Van Gogh and Monet looked at the same world. They didn’t see the same thing, but both wanted to create change.

Because two people can stand in exactly the same place and be looking at entirely different worlds.

And perhaps that is why we should be a little more patient with people. We don't always know what their painting looks like from where they're standing.

GCSE Results Day Tomorrow. "Parents, don't forget about yourself when caring for your child"

GCSE results day can be a big day for young people, and for parents too.

Some will be delighted with their results, while others could be disappointed, worried or unsure about what comes next.

As parents, it’s easy to get caught up in the pressure. Try to take a step back and remember that results don't define your child or their future.

Have a chat with them. Let them chat about how they're feeling before jumping in with advice; we all do it! Celebrate the good results, and if things haven't gone as hoped, remind them that there are always other options and different ways forward.

And don't forget about yourself. If you're worried or stressed, talk to someone, get some advice and give yourself a bit of time to take everything in too.

Sometimes the best thing a parent can say is:

“Whatever happens, we'll work it out together.”

Being there for your kids is paramount, as we all know.

Good luck to everyone getting their GCSE results!

"Male victims of domestic abuse matter. Every Victim Matters"

Men’s Action Network welcomes today’s launch of the Male Domestic Abuse Awareness Campaign by the Department of Justice, Naomi Long MLA and the PSNI: "Every Victim Matters".

Recognising male victims is vital to breaking stigma and ensuring every victim can access safety, support and dignity.

We continue to call for Northern Ireland’s first dedicated refuge for male victims and will be issuing a full statement tomorrow.

Male domestic abuse is real. Male victims matter. Every victim deserves to be heard.
