THE “STRONG, SILENT TYPE”

Honoring Men’s Mental Health Month

Hi fam,

June is Men’s Mental Health Month. And while conversations about mental well-being have become more prevalent, men’s mental health continues to go largely undiscussed. Tony Soprano may have turned to Dr. Melfi for help (albeit secretly), yet many men still succumb to broader societal expectations and pressure, making them much less likely to seek help for mental struggles.

This reluctance is not without consequence. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that men are more likely to die by suicide, with rates significantly higher than their female counterparts. And despite these alarming statistics, male mental health remains an under-addressed issue.

Other ways to support and honor men’s mental health this month:

• Take a quick screening

• Implement support systems at work 

• Try the ALEC (Ask, Listen, Encourage, Check in) method to help navigate mental health convos with friends and fam
