Men's Services
Statistics have shown that men are more apprehensive about seeking mental health treatment than their female counterparts. Specifically, women are more than twice as likely as men to seek support, and do so in less than half the amount of time from the onset of symptoms.
Our society has not historically celebrated the concept of male vulnerability – leaving many men feeling weak or “less capable” if they experience adverse emotions or express themselves more openly. As a result, many individuals are left with a tremendous amount of internalized stress, frustration and sadness that continues to remain private and untreated.
Left unresolved however, past wounds and current stressors may manifest into something more significant and debilitating. With the appropriate support, this community of individuals are able to identify and process their own internalized emotions in a safe and private manner.
