🧠💬 June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month
It’s time to break the silence—and rewrite the story.

Too often, men are told to “tough it out,” “suck it up,” or “be a man.”
But true strength isn’t about staying quiet.
It’s about showing up, speaking up, and reaching out.

The reality:
▪️ 1 in 8 men will experience depression
▪️ 1 in 5 men will face anxiety
▪️ And far too many carry the weight alone

💡 Mental health matters—for everyone.
This month, we shine a light on the courage it takes for men to feel, to heal, and to ask for help.

✔️ Therapy is for men.
✔️ Healing is for men.
✔️ Crying, connecting, and caring are all signs of strength.

If you—or a man you care about—is struggling, you're not alone.
We're here, and we’re ready to walk alongside you.

📞 Reach out. Speak up. Let’s talk.
Because your story matters. 💙
