Men’s Mental Health Resources
So far we’ve discussed Movember and the no-shave movement to encourage awareness and discussion surrounding men’s mental health.
We’ve looked at the gender differences and how men (and young men) and women (and young women) experience mental health struggles differently.
And today we just want to take a moment and share a few amazing resources we’ve come across while doing our research for this month!
Heads Up Guys is a British Columbia- based organization, and their website is overflowing with wonderful resources!
We love that they offer open and honest discussions about the unique way that depression and suicide affect men differently than women.
There are literally hundreds of helpful articles and stories pointing to resources but also success stories.
They offer their “Self-Check Suite” where young men can go and take free confidential assessments on everything from anger to loneliness to relationships, and more!
MenLiving is a nonprofit devoted to improving men’s mental health through connection. Their mission is all about breaking down the barriers that men face to seeking mental health support. They offer in person and virtual groups and also in person retreats!
Man Therapy is a humor-infused site that offers assessments and resources for men. The tips and testimonials are filled with inspirational and authentic first hand stories that serve to normalize the struggle and offer hope for recovery and a rich and full life on the other side!
The Face It Foundation is specific to depression in men. It is a smaller organization based in Minnesota, and they have a beautiful retreat center in Minnesota, as well! You know that at Ready to Hope, we are all about a good retreat!
We hope you will take the time to check out these resources, or at the very least, bookmark this page or send it to a friend.
Let’s all do our part to keep the conversation going- or even just get it started!
And don’t forget to join our email list so we can keep you posted when we have workshops and events coming up!
