Across all age groups, men have significantly higher risk of su***de than women. Why? Research shows that male su***de attempts often involve more lethal means; in 2023, for instance, fi****ms accounted for over half of all su***des among men (SPRC).

It's also important to acknowledge the stigma of talking about mental health, which is perpetuated by societal expectations around masculinity. This National Men's Health Week (and every week!), let's remember to check in on our male friends and family who may be struggling and let them know it's OK to reach out for help. 🩡

*If you or someone you know is in crisis, you can call/text 988 for 24/7 support.

This , let's consider the impact of stigma.

As a result of how they are stigmatized and mistreated, LGBTQ+ young people are at higher risk for su***de. The Trevor Project found that in 2025:
❀️ 36% of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered attempting su***de.
🧑 1 in 10 LGBTQ+ young people attempted su***de.
πŸ’› LGBTQ+ young people of color attempted su***de at higher rates than their white peers.
πŸ’š 44% of LGBTQ+ young people who wanted mental health care in the past year were not able to get it.
πŸ’™ 90% of LGBTQ+ young people said recent anti-LGBTQ+ laws, policies and debates caused them stress or anxiety.
πŸ’œ LGBTQ+ young people who reported living in very accepting communities attempted su***de at less than a third of the rate of those who reported living in very unaccepting communities.

⬆️ This last one is the key. Acceptance can save lives, and it starts with awareness and education. To learn more about what it means to be LGBTQ+ and how to support family and friends who are in the community, you can utilize local resources like the following:
β€’ PFLAG Cape Cod (pflagcapecod.org) - offers support groups for LGBTQ+ people and their families, as well as education and advocacy for inclusive legislation
β€’ We Thrive Center (wethrive.us) - LGBTQ+ and ally center for Cape Cod and the Islands
β€’ Cape Cod Pride (capecodpride.net) - leads initiatives and events that celebrate the LGBTQ+ community

*If you are a LGBTQ+ person who is struggling, call or text 988 at any time for compassionate, culturally-competent support.
