💗Men… we see your strength!!
Last night, during our i understand Men’s Support Group one gentleman shared: “I love this group. Can we meet twice a month?"
There has been laughter, there have been tears, and there has been an understanding that comes from sitting alongside others who are willing to listen, share their experiences, and simply be there for one another.
💪We often talk about men being strong, but sometimes we forget that men experience grief, heartbreak, loneliness, anxiety, and the same emotions we all do.
They lose people they love, experience difficult relationships, worry about their families, and carry burdens that others may never see. Yet many have grown up believing they should keep those feelings to themselves.
💔According to the CDC, nearly 80% of su***de deaths in the United States are among men.
That is a heartbreaking statistic and an important reminder that we need to continue changing the way we talk about men's mental health.
Being strong doesn't mean you don't cry. It doesn't mean you don't grieve, and it certainly doesn't mean you have to face life's challenges alone.
At i understand, we believe that when we create spaces where people feel safe enough to share their stories, we create opportunities for understanding, connection, and hope.
A special thanks to Jeremy, Terry and Rick for reminding us that support groups are about so much more than talking about difficult things.
They're about friendships, laughter, shared experiences, and knowing there are people who genuinely care.
💗We greatly appreciate Forest View Hospital and Mosaic Counseling for the continued partnership in helping make these groups possible.
Men’s group meets the second Monday of each month, check out our fb event page for details.
