Breaking the Silence: Men’s Mental Health and the “Silent NO MORE” Campaign
For many, June is known as Men’s Health Month, a time to highlight issues often kept in the dark. At Head Space Diaries (“nurturing minds, healing souls”), we’re dedicating June 16th –30th to our Silent NO MORE awareness campaign. We aim to help men speak openly about their struggles and encourage others to lend a listening ear. The urgency is clear: in 2023, U.S. data showed men (about half the population) made up nearly 80% of suicide deaths. As the National Alliance on Mental Illness notes, “there is a silent crisis in men’s mental health.” Men are nearly four times more likely to die by suicide than women. These stark facts reveal that many men suffer in silence. We must break the silence by supporting one another with understanding and hope.
