Why Men?
We get asked this a lot. Simply put: for too many men, life’s too short. Struggling in silence, feeling trapped, and seeing no way out tragically leads many to take their own life.
Our model shows that suicide isn’t just a result of mental illness. Instead, we see it as rooted in life crises, psychological entrapment, and overwhelming emotional pain. It can happen to anyone.
The Reality of Men’s Mental Health
Men’s mental health is under pressure, and the statistics are stark: most men who die by suicide felt they had nowhere to turn. The issue affects individuals, families, and communities, and it’s a problem that can be addressed with awareness, support, and timely intervention.
