Today is International Men’s Day — a moment to reflect on men’s mental health, strength, and connection. We spoke to two incredible men from Mental Health Ireland who shared powerful insights about vulnerability, self-awareness, and what it really means to be “strong.” “Sharing that you’re struggling is a sign of strength, not a weakness.”
Take a moment today to pause, ask yourself “How am I feeling?” — and consider what small action could make your day a little brighter.
