June is Menโ€™s Mental Health Awareness Month! Often, men focus on Physical health, however, Mental health is equally important. At Gracie Square Hospital, we strongly believe that mental health is an essential part of everyoneโ€™s well-being. As a free-standing psychiatric facility, GSH maintains its affiliation with NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, providing the best possible care to our patients. Our clinicians strongly believe that a simple conversation can spark transformation and that we can all lead this change together. We continuously strive to build a culture where men feel safe speaking up and are reaching out. GSH's community efforts focus on breaking this stigma, supporting mental health to ensure that no one struggles in silence.
