During Men’s Health Week, take a moment to focus on the mental health of the men in your life. Social norms often discourage men from expressing their emotions, which can increase their risk of depression, overdose, and su***de. Many men may not seek help because they’ve been taught to "be strong" and suppress their feelings. Support the men around you by encouraging them to build healthy mental habits: foster social connections, engage in hobbies, get regular exercise, stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, and consider regular counseling sessions.
