Let's discuss men's mental health stigma and how it is influenced by their cultural background! This is part 1 of a 2 part webinar we did with Himel Das and Elazar Roytgarts.

Discussion around mental health is filled with stigma. For men, this challenge is heightened. Many cultures around the world have a negative label associated with mental health issues. Preconceived notions about “manliness” have resulted in a taboo for men who wish to be open about their struggles. Fear of being seen as weak or not being understood by those in their society are some of the concerns.
