Tomorrow is Wear Blue Day in support of Men's Mental Health - a great way to kick off Memorial Day Weekend. Despite the increasing awareness of mental health issues, men often suffer in silence, reluctant to seek help due to societal stigmas and stereotypes. Consider these alarming statistics: ~ Men are less likely to access psychological therapies than women, with only 36% of referrals to NHS talking therapies being for men. ~ Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK, with men accounting for 75% of all suicides. ~ In the United States, men are 3.7 times more likely than women to die by suicide. (Source: American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) Globally, depression affects over 300 million people, with men less likely to seek professional help compared to women. (Source: World Health Organization) These statistics paint a grim picture of the current state of men's mental health. It's crucial that we create a supportive environment where men feel comfortable reaching out for help without fear of judgment or shame. As a society, we must prioritize men's mental well-being by: ~ Encouraging open conversations about mental health struggles ~ Providing accessible resources and support systems tailored to men's needs ~ Challenging toxic masculinity stereotypes that prevent men from seeking help ~ Promoting mental health education and awareness from a young age It's time to break the silence surrounding men's mental health. Let's work together to ensure that every man feels supported, heard, and empowered to prioritize their mental well-being.

Supporting maternal mental health through partnership. Thank you FemBridge. We can make an impact together.

As we commemorate Infertility Awareness Week, it's crucial to recognize the challenges faced by millions of individuals and couples struggling with infertility. Beyond the statistics, each journey is deeply personal, marked by emotional ups and downs, and often fraught with uncertainty. It's essential that we not only raise awareness about infertility but also ensure that those affected have access to the resources they need to address both their physical and mental well-being. Supporting individuals on their fertility journey means providing comprehensive care that encompasses medical treatments, mental health support, and emotional guidance. #infertility #preconception #mentalhealth #accesstocare

This week, U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff initiated the MOMS Who Serve Act of 2024, aiming to improve access to perinatal health care services for moms in the armed forces. He met with military families at Ft. Moore to discuss the importance of expanding maternal health care. The bipartisan bill proposes evidence-based pilot programs at Military Treatment Facilities nationwide to boost access to maternal mental health care. Additionally, it establishes an advisory committee comprising service members, beneficiaries, and experts to ensure impactful implementation.

This alliance means so much to us. This is about whole family health and supporting a mother’s mental health journey with access to care that works for her and her family.

Fascinating deep dive.

This Valentine’s Day, lead with compassion - first towards yourself. For those facing stress, loneliness, anxiety or depression, societal cues insisting on performance perfection this day only feed unrest. Counter messaging with self-directed gentleness instead. Rather than gifts grasping at validation, offer yourself relief through movement, laughter, favorite hobbies...or simply sitting still replenishing your reserve. No right rhythm but your own. Cherish emotional and physical revitalization allowing fuller presence with loved ones. Model healthy boundaries so those struggling summon courage to honor needs, nourishing resilience for all ahead. Together, gradually grow more comfortable airs of authenticity, vulnerability surrounding wellbeing. Enable others’ healing through stepping into full expressions of self. This February 14th, spread small acts of understanding - seeds sprouting stronger spirits down the road. A compassionate start lights the way. 🔆 Wishing you moments of grace as you journey to wholeness while uplifting your communities. We all walk this winding path. You are not alone. 🤝

More Men Answer the Call to Become Therapists A fascinating shift as more men like this journalist's own friends pursue mid-career switches into mental health counseling. After an influx of women entering psychology starting in the 1970s flipped gender ratios, cultural attitudes and practical barriers kept men away for decades since. But with therapist shortages looming even as more people acknowledge struggles, something is changing. Trailblazers cite a desire for purpose over profits, deeper meaning unlocked in their own therapy experiences. Plus, psychology offers older creatives paid purpose as other industries turn youth-obsessed. The need couldn't be more urgent either, with American men's suicide rates spiking along with demand from male clients. Yet outdated graduate curriculums still overlook building therapeutic trust and communication styles resonating with male sensibilities. We should cheer this growing wave of qualified counselors rushing into the breach meeting men where they are emotionally. Still more goodhearted guys getting equipped to guide other men toward hope and healing. 💪 If you or any man is struggling this season, our compassionate therapists stand ready to listen without judgment. Reach out today to start building resilience and thriving in each sphere of life.
