Everyone, at one time or other struggles with their mental health. For men, it can be difficult to access services because of many factors including societal expectations and masculinity norms. Many men grow up with messages like “man up,” “don’t cry,” or “be strong,” which discourage emotional vulnerability. These norms can make it hard for men to express feelings or seek help, leading to internalized stress and isolation.

Lack of emotional support networks. Compared to women, men often have fewer close friendships where they feel safe discussing personal struggles. This can lead to loneliness and a lack of emotional outlets, especially during tough times.

Underdiagnosis and reluctance to seek help. Men are statistically less likely to seek therapy or mental health support. When they do, their symptoms may be overlooked or misinterpreted—especially if they manifest as anger, irritability, or substance use rather than sadness.
Changing roles and gender confusion. As gender roles evolve, some men may struggle with identity—especially if they feel disconnected from traditional roles or unsure how to navigate new expectations around relationships, parenting, or masculinity.

Trauma and unresolved issues. Many men carry unresolved trauma from childhood, military service, or other life experiences. Without healthy coping mechanisms or support, these issues can fester and impact mental health over time.

The Men's Therapy Centre can help with your mental health! Call today to book a free intake session and begin your healing journey, or refer your friend, brother, father, uncle, grandfather, or cousin!

Pride is both a celebration and a call for action. It is a time to celebrate the strength, diversity, and resilience of the 2SLGBTQI+ community and a reminder that the fight for equality, safety, and human rights is far from over. Happy PRIDE!!!

National Indigenous Peoples Day takes place on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. For generations, many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities have celebrated their cultures, languages, and traditions at this time of year. The summer solstice holds deep spiritual and cultural significance for many Indigenous Peoples, marking a time of renewal, connection, and celebration.
