Society has taught men that showing emotions or talking about their mental health is seen as a sign of 'weakness' or viewed as 'less of a man'
It’s time to break that stigma. No matter what gender, race or religion, everyone deserves support with their mental health and a chance to improve their lives.
At PsyMood, our mission is to connect people with mental health support based on their language and cultural background.
Men have always been told that it is their job to be strong, provide for their family, have stable income, etc. Any mention of their mental health or feelings they have to brush aside because that is how society has taught them to be. We acknowledge that mental health can affect anyone. Let’s spread this awareness and help those who need to seek help.
In this session, our specialists talk about how men deal with mental health and the effects cultural background have on it.
Below are highlights from the session:
