JUNE is MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH MONTH
It’s June, when we celebrate Men’s Mental Health Month, and ask men everywhere to bravely ask directions to their own feelings and emotions. But why should we ask men to embrace vulnerability, share their feelings, and admit it’s OK to let the tears flow?
1. 6 million men suffer from Depression each year.
2. 1 million men are affected by Bipolar Disorder and 90% of people with Schizophrenia by age 30 are men.
Please remind that tough dude who is encroaching your personal space - that he needs a mental tune up. Yes, for sure he won’t ask directions to the nearest therapy session, so politely mention that he can visit www.mhascreening.org for a free, quick, and confidential screening for Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, PTSD, and Substance Use problems. Hey men, cheer up - this is the month to experience the full spectrum of feelings!
