There’s a deserved focus on breaking the stigma around men and mental health, but you don’t often hear much about how to facilitate the discussion with an employer, so this is refreshing

Breaking Barriers: Understanding Men’s Struggles with Accessing Mental Health Support and the Cost of Silence We start by discussing the pervasive issue of mental health among men, underlined by societal expectations that equate masculinity with toughness and self-reliance, such stigma leads to higher suicide rates among men and a reluctance to seek help. We then focus on recognising warning signs of mental distress in men, before outlining practical steps that men, their colleagues, friends or loved ones can take towards securing timely and appropriate support.

Burnout in the workplace is real, but how you engage your employer with the topic can make a big difference. Engaging in direct, respectful conversations and following up can help foster a healthier work environment.

Multimodal isn't a common word, but it's a simple idea - it's just about tackling the different but connected things - both mental and physical - that can all contribute to making us struggle from time to time.

There was a while there where mindfulness was definitely having a moment. And yet even with the explosion of articles about what it is, and how it helps, many people still misunderstand how it works. Meditation isn't just about breathing calmly and the relaxation that can come from that. It isn't a relaxation technique at all (though it can be relaxing to do for some). It's an exercise that develops a skill. And the skill has psychological benefits far greater than just relaxation.

Feeling stressed at work is more common than you might think, especially in fast-paced industries. Did you know that up to 80% of professionals experience moderate to high levels of stress?

A "one-size-fits-all" approach rarely works in mental health. At The Lazarus Practice, we design personalised therapeutic Pathways tailored to your unique goals. By matching you with the right practitioners, we ensure your journey towards wellbeing is effective and meaningful. Learn more about our approach to creating bespoke, transformative experiences.

In the UK, 1 in 4 people face mental health challenges each year, yet only 7% reach their goals. Even more concerning, 3% actually experience harm from their attempts, and many give up entirely, living with ongoing suffering. The Lazarus Practice was created to change that. We offer a personalised, comprehensive approach that looks beyond symptoms to address root causes, paving the way for sustainable well-being and we are now accepting patients. Our unique approach combines bespoke, multimodal Pathways that include elements like psychotherapy, sleep optimisation, nutrition, and mindfulness. We build each Pathway collaboratively with our clients, understanding that the journey to well-being is deeply personal and unique. By focusing on root causes, we help clients achieve lasting, meaningful outcomes. We also address the critical issues in modern mental health services: → The ‘Wonky Foundations’ Problem: We invest time in understanding each client’s story, ensuring their Pathway is built on a foundation of insight and empathy. → The ‘One Size Fits All’ Problem: Our tailored Pathways draw on evidence-based specialisms, personalised to each client’s needs and readiness. → The ‘Lack of Know-How’ Problem: Our experts are highly knowledgeable and carefully matched to each client, ensuring they receive the most appropriate support. → The ‘Progress Towards Outcomes’ Problem: We track each client’s journey, adjusting their Pathway as needed to maximise progress and ensure they’re on track to meet their goals. → The ‘In it Alone’ Problem: With a named Client Advocate, each client receives compassionate guidance and support throughout their Pathway, so they always feel held and understood. At The Lazarus Practice, we are setting a new standard in mental health support. Discover therapy as it should be - innovative, compassionate, and entirely focused on you.
