International Men’s Day: Prioritising Mental Wellbeing with Expert Mental Health Speakers

13 Nov International Men’s Day: Prioritising Mental Wellbeing with Expert Mental Health Speakers

19th of November each year, International Men’s Day is celebrated. This platform provides an opportunity to support positive male role models as well as numerous contributions by men in society and community. The following blog post deals with mental health, which is an intrinsic yet oft-neglected part of men’s total well-being. We will also discuss how The Right Address can help you enhance your corporate events with a plethora of professional mental health speakers.

The Importance of Men’s Mental Health

Men are less likely than women to seek treatment for mental health issues, according to research. Another major obstacle to males getting treatment for mental health issues is stigma. This is partly because males have been historically pressured by society to be tough and unyielding, which can cause them to suppress their feelings. This, in turn, can result in repressed emotions, more stress, and eventually mental health issues.

The data shows that men are prone to experiencing anxiety, depression, and stress. These problems can affect many areas of life, such as partnerships, employment, and overall health.

Key Themes for International Men’s Day 2024

The theme for this year is to “Recognise Positive Male Role Models” by honouring and acknowledging men who make a positive impact in their communities and families. By promoting positive masculine traits and challenging harmful stereotypes, we can work towards a world where masculinity in all forms is valued and purposeful.

Men’s mental health is an essential aspect of positive masculinity. When men prioritise their mental health, they become better equipped to serve as role models for others. By seeking help and supporting others, they can inspire positive change.

Consider hosting a mental health-focused event for International Men’s Day. A talk by a speaker from The Right Address can be a powerful way to raise awareness and encourage open conversations about men’s mental health.
