Time to change reports on the findings of a survey about young men’s mental health. A poll carried out by Censuswide of 1,504 boys aged between 16-18 years old year found: 49% of participants would not feel comfortable talking to their dad about their mental health and over a third said this was because their dad doesn’t talk about his feelings; 57% wanted their fathers to talk to them; 70% of sons felt comfortable talking about their mental health when this had been encouraged by their father.
