Men's Mental Health Month

Men's Mental Health Month is recognized in June each year and is dedicated to raising awareness about the unique mental health challenges that men face. While Mental Health Awareness Month occurs in May, June puts a spotlight on men's mental health, encouraging open conversations, reducing stigma, and promoting access to care.

Key Facts:

• Suicide rates are significantly higher among men than women in most countries.

• Many men are less likely to seek help for depression, anxiety, or trauma due to stigma, cultural expectations, or lack of access.

• Common issues include substance use, anger management, PTSD, work-related stress, and relationship/family struggles.
  

Goals of Men’s Mental Health Month:

• Normalize help-seeking among men.

• Educate about early warning signs of mental illness.

• Promote resources for mental wellness, therapy, and peer support.

• Highlight the importance of emotional expression and vulnerability.
