About Shed Your Armour, Show the Scars - Feniks. Counselling, Personal Development and Support Services
Did you know that Polish men in Scotland are twice as likely to commit suicide than Scots due to stigma & reluctance to seek help? The "Shed Your Armour, Show the Scars!" campaign tackled this issue by using armour as a symbol of emotional shields and encouraged men to seek support. Led in October 2022 by Community Ambassadors with lived experience, the 4-week campaign engaged 20,000 Polish people in Scotland and received positive feedback from the community and news outlets. It was the first-ever campaign worldwide addressing the problem of suicide among Polish men, making it a groundbreaking and impactful initiative.
The People's Choice Award is sponsored by SCVO Credit Union
