Men’s mental health support needs to go beyond getting through the door.

A new report from Movember, Mental Health Research Canada, and CAMH estimates that 1.3 million men aged 16 and older have unmet mental health support needs. Men are accessing services, but too many needs remain unrecognized, and care does not always keep people connected long enough to receive the support they need.

Join the next Better Mental Health Briefing for a discussion about the barriers men face and what needs to change to make care more accessible and effective.

Thursday, October 22
1 p.m. ET
Online via Zoom

Language Matters: Common Dos and Don'ts

How we talk about su***de matters.

✔ Share accurate, evidence‑based information
✔ Provide resources and support options
✔ Focus on prevention, hope, and healing
✔ Consider how messages may affect those with lived experience

By choosing our words carefully, we can help create a more informed, compassionate, and supportive community.
