Ending the stigma: Empowering men to prioritize mental health
August 3rd, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Presented jointly with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Center for Health Communication
American men are far less likely than women to receive mental health treatment. One factor: Stigma around seeking care. Our panelists will explore ideas for overcoming that stigma and look at how friends, families, and colleagues can best support men’s mental health. We’ll also discuss the importance of culturally appropriate care and examine new approaches to improving access. Register for free to submit your questions.
An on-demand video will be posted after the event.
