🧠 Men’s Health Awareness Month
This November, we’re starting the conversation about men’s mental health in Canada — because it matters just as much as physical health. Too often, men’s mental well-being gets overlooked.
📊 Quick facts:
• Only about 50% of Canadian men aged 15+ say their mental health is “excellent or very good”.
• 64% of Canadian men report moderate-to-high levels of stress — up 4% in one year.
• 23% of men are at risk of moderate-to-severe depression.
• Half of men say they lack sufficient social support — a key factor in mental health.
• Men account for ¾ of all su***de deaths in Canada.
💡 Why it matters:
Men face unique pressures—whether it’s stigma (“real men don’t show weakness”), isolation, or poor support networks. These contribute to silence, suffering, and sometimes tragic outcomes.
🤝 What we can do:
• Ask the men in your life how they’re really doing.
• Normalize talking about mental health—just like you’d talk about a broken arm or a cold.
•Encourage reaching out to support, rather than toughing it out alone.
•Share local supports and resources (in Moose Jaw / Saskatchewan) so it’s easy to find help.
Let’s make mental health part of the conversation, not the thing you ignore. Because when men thrive, our families and communities do too.
