International Men’s Day is celebrated annually on 19 November, to celebrate men and boys in all their diversity and highlight some of the health and social issues they face in today’s society.
The aim of West Yorkshire Liaison and Diversion’s Male Pathway is to support male clients away from the Criminal Justice System and refer them into the most appropriate support services to improve health and social outcomes. The pathway assists with accessing support with housing, welfare benefits, substance misuse, specialist alcohol services, debts/finances, mental health, physical health, digital poverty, and education & training to name but a few targeted vulnerabilities.
