For many men, stigma and pressure to stay strong make asking for help the hardest step.
Men die by suicide at nearly three times the rate of women in Canada. They're more likely to face addiction and less likely to seek help—and too often, they don't get support until a crisis hits, or at all.
Join CAMH Foundation for a practical, candid webinar on men's mental health with live anonymous Q&A. CAMH expert Dr. Omair Husain will explore how mental health shows up for boys and men across the lifespan—and what care that meets them where they are looks like.
You'll leave with real insight and evidence-based tools—for the boys and men in your life, or for yourself.
