It’s Movember! Did you know that November 19 is International Men’s Day? Roughly 67% of Canadian men have never sought professional mental health services, and men overall receive less mental health support (about 40%) compared to women (51.7%).

Common Struggles: Depression, anxiety, chronic stress, PTSD, and substance use disorders heavily impact men, though they frequently go underreported due to social stigmas.

How to Get Support or Help Others

• Crisis Line: If you or someone you know is in crisis or thinking about su***de, call or text 9-8-8 (free, 24/7 Su***de Crisis Helpline in Canada and the U.S.).

Direct Check-ins: Ask the men in your life direct, honest questions like "How are you, really?" and create judgment-free spaces to talk.

At PCOFMA we are that judgement free space.

Happy Friday everyone! Before the weekend officially arrives, we wanted to make a quick announcement regarding programming next week: PCOFMA staff will be attending mandatory training in Halifax next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, therefore, our offices will be closed those days. We will only have one group session on Monday evening, from 6:00pm-7:30pm, and we will only have drop-in availability on Monday and Tuesday while in the office. If you’re usually a Wednesday group attendee, we encourage you to attend Monday evening if possible. We appreciate your flexibility and patience! 💚

🧡Reminder:🧡

The PCOFMA office is closed today, and group will not be held this evening. This closure is in observance of Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The following comes from the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation’s website:

[Today is] a time to remember the children who never returned home and to honour Survivors and their families. Reconciliation is rooted in the courage to listen, the humility to acknowledge past and ongoing harms, and an unwavering commitment to upholding the truth while confronting denialism in all forms. We stand in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples today and every day, committing to the essential, ongoing work of truth-telling and meaningful reconciliation.

Listen. Acknowledge. Confront.

Courage. Humility. Commitment.

A familiar mission for PCOFMA, a necessary undertaking for us all.
