To mark International Men’s Day, the DIA brought together a panel of voices from across the industry to explore men’s health, wellbeing and the positive role men play in society.

The discussion touched on the core themes of International Men’s Day, including:

• Promoting positive role models and celebrating men’s contributions
• Addressing health and wellbeing, particularly the often-overlooked challenges around mental health
• Highlighting areas where men may face discrimination or societal pressures
• Encouraging stronger gender relations and fostering a safer, more supportive world for everyone

Our panel shared personal reflections, practical advice and ideas on how we can support one another as colleagues, family members and community members.

This open and supportive conversation recognised men’s value, raised awareness of key issues and encouraged healthier, more inclusive dialogue across our profession. Tune in to watch the full discussion.
