This Movember, let's talk about men's mental health.
Stigma and social expectations can make it harder for men to speak openly about their mental health or seek support. Challenging these barriers matters.
💙 The EU's comprehensive approach to mental health promotes prevention, supports mental wellbeing and aims to improve access to quality, affordable mental healthcare.
Talking about mental health should never be something to shy away from.
@EUCommission For me personally I have a rule:
"Only in here 🧠, never out there 🌍️ "
I know it's bad but I've seen too many examples of it being used against you so I myself am a little more careful with this
I'm not sure I understand you here. Are you saying that men who reach out for help find their vulnerability used against them? I can certainly imagine that happening in certain social circles and work environments.
@CppGuy @EUCommission Yes, I can only speak from personal experiences
That goes for friends, family or even loved ones unfortunate
"Harder for men to reach out"
🤔 And none of those conditions are encountered by women. Interesting perspective considering the weight of living under the burden of misogyny that has the sole purpose to silence women asking their needs be met.
Perhaps there's a need to reexamine exactly what's really going on?
Hello @TrueNorthSpice!
The systems that adversely affect women are also bad for men. We're here to fight inequality, stigma, and discrimination in all of it's forms.
Maybe they are bad for men but women don't have a choice whereas men do .
I am aware a few women are allowed to rise to the top, but men still hold all the power and block attempts to achieve equality.
On paper, laws look fair but in real life they are fill of loopholes and are circumvented by the very people who put them in place.
