HeadsUpGuys

HeadsUpGuys is a men’s mental health resource offering practical self-care tips, screening tools, self-guided courses, inspirational recovery stories, an international Therapist Directory, along with guidance on how to support the men in our lives.

• HeadsUpGuys’ content is derived from evidence-based research and includes both clinician and patient perspectives to ensure the accuracy and relatability of our content. 

HeadsUpGuys is located at UBC’s Vancouver Campus, on the traditional territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people. HeadsUpGuys is a global resource, with over 5,000,000 visits from countries around the world.

Operational costs of HeadsUpGuys are funded exclusively through the generosity of private donations.

OUR VISION

• We envision a world where men make mental health a priority, and suicide is no longer a top 5 cause of death for men of any age.

OUR MISSION

• To support men to improve their mental health, reduce their risk of suicide, and inspire them to live healthier lives.

OUR MANDATE

• To improve mental health literacy among men, reduce stigma, arm men (and their friends, families, and communities) with strategies for effective self-management, and support their uptake of mental health services.

OUR VALUES

• HeadsUpGuys supports men’s mental health in a positive, inclusive, and mutually supportive way with and for people of all backgrounds, regardless of gender, race, or sexual orientation. 
• HeadsUpGuys does not support discrimination of any form, is not involved in Men’s Rights Activism, and does not support misogyny.

HeadsUpGuys is a leading example of how novel work conducted at UBC advances education and improves knowledge by translating research into practical tools that help people understand, manage, and improve their mental health.
