On World Suicide Prevention Day September 10th and through this month, Movember, a charity dedicated to changing the face of men’s health, is urging men to talk about their mental health issues and challenges as part of their “Spot the Signs” campaign. It’s not always easy to reach out when things get tough, but meaningful conversations early can reduce the risk of suicide. As a man who's personally felt the effects of mental health challenges, I know how difficult it can be in a world that discourages men from speaking about feelings due to how it is perceived as 'less manly'. In my culture, sharing and letting the tears flow is healing. It is seen as strength and not weakness, and we should focus on these teachings and not the stereotype that expression of emotions is weakness. #worldsuideperventionday #spotthesigns #helpinghand #caring
