Each year, more than six million men experience depression – yet too often, their struggles go unnoticed. Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month is a reminder that emotional well-being matters. It’s an opportunity to talk openly, end the stigma, and support one another.

3 ways to make a difference:

• Foster dialogue. Encourage honest conversations about mental health. Sharing stories of recovery and resilience helps others feel less alone.
• End the silent struggle. Many men face pressure to appear “tough.” This month, let’s challenge that mindset and show empathy for those quietly struggling.
• Encourage seeking help. Support friends, coworkers, and family in reaching out for professional or peer support when they need it.

Tips for better mental health:
Regular exercise, strong social connections, mindfulness, and quality sleep can all make a major difference. Even small daily actions – like a walk, a phone call, or a quiet moment to recharge – can help protect your mental well-being.
