Mental Health in the Workplace: A Message for Men

 In corporate environments, men often feel pressure to appear invulnerable. 

However, the reality is: 1 in 8 men experience depression, and workplace stress is often a significant factor.

As leaders and colleagues, we can: 

✓ Normalize mental health conversations and encourage seeking support.

✓ Offer flexible work arrangements so people can see therapist as they need too.  

✓ Lead by example in seeking help and share support. 

✓ Create psychologically safe environments for all people in the work space. 

Taking care of our mental health isn't just personal—it's professional. 

When we're mentally healthy, we're more creative, productive, and better leaders.

Let's change the narrative around men's mental health in the workplace.
