Great to see getting over to and the UAE spreading awareness of men’s mental health.
November marked Men’s Health Awareness month, which focuses on promoting both physical and mental wellbeing among men. Also known as Movember, some men grow moustaches to mark the month, which aims to challenge the stigma around men’s health issues, spark conversations, and promote early detection and intervention.
It is no secret that a stigma exists regarding men’s mental health - statistics from mental healthcare provider Priory. suggest 40% of men have never spoken to anyone about their mental health, meaning many individuals suffer in silence.
While some men may feel embarrassed or uncomfortable talking about their mental health, the bravest thing they can do is tackle the issue before it becomes a bigger problem.
