Breaking the Stigma
Mental health is often overlooked among men, with many struggling in silence due to societal expectations and stigmas. Breaking the silence is the first step toward healing. In this blog, we’ll explore the importance of addressing mental health issues among men, why seeking help is vital, and how it’s deeply tied to both financial and family stability.
Statistics on Men and Mental Health Issues
- According to the National Institute of Mental Health, men are less likely to seek mental health support despite experiencing high rates of suicide and depression.
- In the U.S., men account for nearly 75% of all suicides, yet only about 36% of therapy clients are male.
Barriers to Seeking Help
Men often face societal pressures to be “strong” and “self-reliant,” which can prevent them from seeking help. Some common barriers include:
- Social Stigma: The fear of being labeled as weak or incapable.
- Lack of Awareness: Many men don’t recognize the signs of mental health issues.
- Limited Access to Care: Financial limitations and lack of health coverage also play a significant role.
The Link Between Mental Health and Financial/Family Stability
Mental health doesn’t just affect emotional well-being. It can impact performance at work, strain relationships, and create additional financial burdens. Men dealing with mental health challenges often struggle to maintain stable employment, which leads to financial instability and stress at home, further straining family bonds.

When accountability feels like betrayal, real progress becomes impossible. Stephen A. Smith recently called out Rep. Jasmine Crockett for constantly attacking Trump — and instead of discussing his point, people tried to cancel him. But is he wrong? In this post, I break down why the culture of outrage is holding us back, why groupthink isn’t progress, and why it’s time to stop barking and start building. - I Wish Someone Would Give Me a Million Dollars!If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?
