Masculinity & Mental Health: Managing Stereotypes and Creating Safe Spaces
It is difficult to talk about mental health as a male in the United States. As a result, many American males don’t have the language to talk about their mental health struggles, and they don’t know how to reach out for help when they are feeling isolated and alone. This stereotypical model of masculinity is exacting a terrible toll on men in the United States. Suicide in America disproportionately affects men. In 2019, men died by suicide 3.63x more often than women. Many men die by suicide because they aren’t able to talk about their issues or get the help that they need. This session will explore some of the epidemiological impacts of our outmoded gender expectations on male's mental health and will present a series of evidence-based practices that can be used to support mental health, and socio-emotional supports that are necessary to thrive in school and society.
This talk was presented at:
2022 National ESEA Conference

in
New Orleans, LA
