Mental health affects all of us, yet when it comes to men, there’s often a lot left unsaid. In our culture, many men grow up learning to be “tough,” to “suck it up,” and avoid showing vulnerability. These beliefs, however well-intentioned, can make it much harder for men to address mental health issues when they arise. For many, the idea of reaching out for help feels like admitting defeat—a belief we need to change. Men’s mental health is not only essential for the men themselves but impacts everyone in their lives: family, friends, colleagues, and even society as a whole. By encouraging open conversations, we can make strides toward a healthier, more supportive world for everyone.
