Gents!! JUST for YOU! From me👩🏽‍⚕️😊👍🏽(with another Specially Invited Guest)

This is the Final Segment for November- What a month!

PART 2 of 2 - Men's MENTAL HEALTH - Do You Really Need a Therapist?

Sadly, despite the increasing need worldwide of issues concerning men's mental health, seeking "help" is still viewed with stigma and disdain.

WHY??

3 words: STIGMA , FEAR, and SHAME.🤫🥺😟

👴🏽😟" REAL men don't go to the doctor; only WEAK men do".

This is one of the MAJOR reasons for men , older and younger, from seeking help, seeking a listening ear, and descending into "depth of despair" and, sadly, suicide and substance abuse continue to escalate as a means of escape.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷Please join me as I am so grateful to discuss these matters with Clinical Psychologist Mr. Krisnan Hurdle who will

🔷Review those at risk

🔷 Describe the many ways that men can (safely and in privacy reach out to a trained therapist for assistance ) and

🔷Practical methods and healthy coping strategies which not only improve self-confidence, but also improve the closest and most meaningful relationships in our lives!

I trust that you will find this information vital for you and your friends and family who may be struggling to cope with stressors.

It is a sign of COURAGE💯 , NOT weakness, to reach out when you are overwhelmed.

Remember:

👴🏽😟💙LISTEN! If your friend or relative is exhibiting any of these signs , listen to the unspoken word; take them seriously (suicide among older persons IS increasing)

👴🏽😟💙Don't just "bring it up"; start with general conversation and again: ;let them TALK!

👴🏽😟💙 Form a "men's only community- "MANSHED" - mentor, provide a safe space to talk freely and .... eventually suggest seeking help.

Gents; older or younger:

WE NEED YOU!💙💙💙

YOU MATTER!💙💙💙

What action step will you take TODAY?

💙Prevention, Preparation, Protection💙

Good vibes always!💗

From my heart to yours💗
