Moving Forward: A Call to Action As we reflect on World Men's Mental Health Day, it’s clear that the silence surrounding men’s mental health is an issue that needs to be addressed.
In honour of World Men's Mental Health Day, Pulse is urging every man to break this silence, dismantle the stigma, and speak out about their mental health.
This year’s theme, "Positive Male Role Models," highlights the importance of fostering open conversations about men's mental health and creating supportive environments in which men can thrive.

Research shows that men are less likely to seek mental health support, even when struggling with conditions such as depression, anxiety, or stress.
Just as physical health is important, mental health is essential to overall well-being.
Normalizing Emotional Expression One of the most critical ways to address men's mental health is by normalising emotional expression.
