Lifting Men Up
RockMental is proud to partner with HeadsUpGuys, the world’s leading men’s mental health resource, to help battle depression and suicide among men in the rock community.
Driven by the urgent need to support men’s mental health and prevent suicide, we created HeadsUpGuys—an anonymous, research-backed online resource. HeadsUpGuys offers practical self-care tips, screening tools, self-guided courses, inspirational recovery stories, and an international Therapist Directory, along with guidance on how to support the men in our lives.

Depression and Suicide in Men
- Men die by suicide 3x times the rate as women do in the US, Canada, the UK
- Suicide is a leading cause of death for men under 50 years old
- Men are much less likely than women to get help for their mental health
- Over 75% of men who complete our Depression Check (a depression screening tool) meet the criteria for probable depression
Research has shown that men face unique challenges in accessing mental health services and resources that adequately meet their needs. HeadsUpGuys was developed specifically to help fill that gap. HeadsUpGuys is founded on a robust evidence base that includes contemporary research findings, as well as the lived experiences of men who have suffered from depression and clinicians who work with these men.
HeadsUpGuys’ content is derived from evidence-based research and includes both clinician and patient perspectives to ensure the accuracy and relatability of our content.
