# The Men’s Council South Africa calls on government to intensify efforts on mental health and suicide prevention, highlighting September as Suicide Prevention Month. This follows the tragic death of a 21-year-old man in Durban. Rising unemployment, poverty, substance abuse, and societal pressures are worsening the crisis, particularly among men. The council urges multisectoral collaboration, legislative reform, and community support to create safe spaces, improve care, and prevent further loss of life across the nation.
