This month is Men's Mental Health Month, a time to raise awareness about the mental health challenges that men face and reduce the stigma around seeking health. Phrases like "man up", "boys don't cry" or "toughen up" have been harmful to boys and men for far too long, making it harder for them to seek the support they need and often leading many to suffer in silence. If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, you are not alone, and help is available. Call 988 is available for free, confidential and immediate emotional support.
