🙋🏼♂️🧒🏽Toxic masculinity is a problem for everyone. This cultural phenomenon purports that boys and men should only feel happiness or anger, or only show those feelings. When anyone suppresses emotion, it will come out eventually, potentially in harmful ways.
🙋🏽♂️👦🏼 Toxic masculinity also suggests that everyone other than boys and men are solely responsible for managing boys’ or men’s feelings, which relinquishes them of all responsibility of processing emotions in a healthy way.
🙋🏻♂️👦🏾 This issue is not only a huge burden for everyone else in a boy or man’s life, but it also does them a disservice to suggest that they don’t have the skills, capacity, or resources available to heal or grow.
At KTHC, we’re committed to ending stigma around men’s mental health, and dismantling toxic masculinity. Share our posts this week in honor of Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month! 👦🏿🙋🏼♂️🌳🤲🏽🩵
