Let’s Talk—Men’s Mental Health Matters

Hive check-in: Let’s dive into today’s narrative

Let’s just start here:

Men hurt too.

Men cry too.

Men get overwhelmed, anxious, and exhausted too.

And guess what? That doesn’t make them any less strong.

June is Men’s Mental Health Month, and it’s a reminder that being “tough” doesn’t mean carrying the world on your shoulders without ever asking for help. That outdated idea of being strong by staying silent? We’re done with that.

Mental health matters.

And for men—who are often taught to stay quiet, suck it up, or “man up”—it’s critical we make space for honesty.

Here’s what I know:

When a man opens up about how he’s really doing, that’s brave.

When he goes to therapy, that’s strong.

When he says “I’m not okay,” that’s powerful.

We need to normalize rest, softness, vulnerability, and community for men. Not every man has a safe space—but we can start building them. We can listen better. We can check in more. We can remind the men in our lives that their mental health deserves care too.

If you’re a man reading this and struggling: you’re not alone. You are not a burden. And yes, it’s okay to ask for help.

You are needed.

You are loved.

You are allowed to be human.

This month, and every month, let’s choose compassion over pride and healing over hiding.
