During Masculinity and Mental Health Week, let's provide male-identified folks with the space to normalize mental health struggles and learn about available resources. 

The impacts of COVID-19 have made us acutely aware that now more than ever men are also struggling with their mental health and deserve a place to discuss this through open discussion and community building.

Join us for a week of events and social media campaigns to spread awareness that men’s mental health is something that matters.
