is men's mental health Month a time to shine a light on the often unseen struggles men face. Statistics show that 1 in 8 men experience a mental health condition, yet many continue to suffer in silence. Men also account for about 75% of su***de deaths in many countries, while 64% report high levels of stress, and nearly 1 in 4 are at risk of moderate to severe depression. Even with these challenges, around 67% of men do not seek professional mental health support when they need it.
At TwaAssist Kenya, we recognize that behind these numbers are fathers, sons, brothers, and friends who deserve understanding, support, and care.
This month, let’s break the silence, check in on the men around us, and encourage open conversations that lead to healing and hope.
