Well, I attended a work webinar about men's #MentaHealth
They had loads of options for those who were already suicidal.
However, they had nothing to prevent men from getting to that stage.
When I pointed it out: oh, ok...
Shame.
Why wait till men get to their end before offering help?
The loss of LGBTQ-specific support at the 988 national suicide / mental health hotline sucks, and, is probably a good time to remember that 988 — and many other hotlines — will decide on their own in some circumstances to send the police.
Here are a bunch of crisis lines that promise not to do that. https://www.inclusivetherapists.com/contact#crisis #mentahealth #support
I did the thing and rode the mountain ride with the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride to advocate for prostate cancer and men's mental health.
On Sunday the 18th May 2025, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.
NEW from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: More than half of teens have 4+ hours of screen time per day. The share with 4+ hours/day is
⬆️ higher for girls than for boys, and
⬆️ higher for older teens (ages 15-17) than for younger adolescents (ages 12-14).

Funny thing about poor mental health is that small talk can end up being super awkward.
