In navigating the distinct challenges faced by men in today’s society, such as:
- Pressure to Conform to Traditional Masculine Norms: Societal expectations often dictate that men should be strong, silent, and self-sufficient, making it challenging for them to express emotions and seek help when needed.
- Difficulty Forming and Maintaining Healthy Relationships: Communication barriers may hinder men from openly expressing themselves, leading to isolation and loneliness.
- Stress and Anxiety: The constant pressure to succeed in careers and provide for families can result in stress, anxiety, and burnout.
- Mental Health Issues: Men are statistically more prone to suicide and less likely to seek help for mental health problems than women.
