A bus company is highlighting the challenges faced by men in education and work.
Salisbury Reds is raising awareness of these issues ahead of International Men's Day on Tuesday, November 19.
Nikki Honer, head of communications at Salisbury Reds, said: "Many who are struggling with issues like attainment, re-training, stress, redundancy and unemployment remain silent - for fear of any embarrassment they might experience from speaking out."
The company is marking the day by reminding its male staff of the support available to them.

Nikki added: "For those who don’t already work for Salisbury Reds, we’re aware that many men find it especially difficult to find employment if they haven’t achieved the education, qualifications, and training required.
"We look at it differently. For us, it is about finding individuals who have the right attributes and temperament.
"Unlike other work environments, we don’t expect them to train before they join us.
"In fact, we will pay them whilst they gain a professional skill or qualification."
