Following on from her Modern Masculinity series, Iman Amrani wants to open up a conversation about men’s mental health and would like to hear from men whose mental health has been affected by being out of work since the outbreak of coronavirus.


  • How has being made redundant or your contract not being renewed affected your mental health? 
  • Are you a self-employed person who has been without work? 
  • How have you coped being at home without work? 
  • Do you have any advice you think others could learn from?
