A charity that has helped almost 4,000 people with their mental health say some boys in the area are "suffering in silence". TIC+ offers support and counselling, but said only 30% of those accessing its services were male. The help available could make "life and death" differences in some cases, the Mitcheldean-based charity says. Its outreach scheme is focusing on males aged nine to 25 in some of Gloucester's most deprived areas.
