Encourage Men To Seek Help
It’s important to remind men that they are not alone and that asking for help is not a sign of weakness. If they seem hesitant about taking care of their mental health, suggest a local support group or provide information for an online counseling session!

Help Men With Self-Care
When in a slump, we often forget how essential self-care is. Encourage men to engage in healthy self-care habits such as getting eight hours of sleep, eating a nutritious diet, and regularly moving their bodies. Self-care is a big step towards bettering their mental health!

Help Men Build Strong Relationships
Interacting with other men who are also struggling with their mental health can show men that, once again, they are not alone. At first, building strong relationships can be challenging, but these connections provide a supportive environment for men to express themselves and share their struggles. When out with friends, try introducing a man in your life to people with like-minded values and life goals.
