Men’s mental health is an arena of both struggle and opportunity –
“REAL MEN DON’T CRY.”
- Men must be educated to seek out face-to-face as well as online resources: The Cleveland Clinic is a good example that offers both onsite and online counseling.
This would be a good time to quote from the Clinic each of the 11 tips:
- “Validate your emotions”
- “Recognize the symptoms”
- “Write about it”
- “Identify your support system”
- “Make time for your friendships”
- “Identify unhealthy coping mechanisms”
- “Embrace healthy hobbies”
- “Harness your breath”
- “Move your body”
- “Tend to your physical health”
- “Seek professional support”
Now, the tips involve some overlapping goals to achieve good mental health for men. There is a great deal of detail for each of the tips, and I will have to refer you to the original posting so that you can see what is involved. Here’s the link: 11 Tips for Men and Their Mental Health.
CONCLUSION
I strongly recommend that you check out the online version of the Cleveland Clinic, which has a link showing its editorial process. You know that you should be able to trust the site, because it is reviewed by medical professionals.
