There’s often a strong focus on men’s physical health — fitness, annual checkups, heart health — but it’s just as important to remember: mental health is health. 🧠

Just like the body, the mind needs care, attention, and support. Yet many men face a silent struggle. Too often, emotions go unspoken and help goes unasked — and the impact is real. Men are nearly four times more likely to die by su***de than women, highlighting the urgent need to break the silence.

This June - Men's Mental Health Month - we encourage small, meaningful steps:

💙 Check in with yourself
💙 Reach out to a friend
💙 Talk openly about how you’re feeling
💙 Seek support when you need it

Healing doesn’t have to happen alone.

Let’s work together to build a culture where men of all ages feel safe to speak up, be vulnerable, and ask for help.

Common Questions About Teens and Mental Health Literacy from our discussion with Laura Ollinger on The Positively Healthy Mom Community Podcast:

How do I know if my teen is "anxious" or has an anxiety disorder?
Normal anxiety is tied to specific events, like taking a difficult exam or asking someone to prom. A clinical symptom or disorder often involves a physical inability to slow down, calm down, or function normally in daily life.

How should I respond when my teenager starts sharing their feelings?

The most effective approach is to ask: "Do you want me to listen, or do you want my advice?". Show you are listening by acknowledging and repeating their words rather than pivoting to your own past experiences.

Does talking about su***de give a teenager the idea?
No. Research and clinical experience show that making these topics open for discussion in a household actually decreases the rate of risk. Normalizing the conversation helps remove the shame that often prevents teens from seeking help.

Looking for more resources as we head into summer time with kids and teens? Tune into the pod for an intro to with Engage & Heal!

In episode #102, we explore teen mental health literacy and how to build resilience beyond "lawnmower parenting". Learn to spot triggers in high achievers, like sudden grade drops or injuries. We discuss su***de prevention through active listening and introduce the MindMap app, a free tool

Nearly 40% of high school seniors report persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, about one in five have seriously considered su***de, and nearly one in ten have attempted su***de. Despite these alarming trends, many young people are unable to access care until their symptoms become severe.

Today is Mental Health Day of Action! Join the movement and ask Congress to fund mental health prevention and early intervention through the EARLY Minds Act!
