Working aged men (25-54 years old) account for the largest number of suicide deaths in U.S. According to the Colorado Office of Suicide Prevention, males continue to represent a disproportionate number of suicide deaths at over 76% of suicide fatalities across all age groups. Men are the least likely to receive any kind of support. They generally don’t talk about it with their friends, family, or seek professional treatment.
Man Therapy is a tool designed by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) to help men with their mental health and rid us of the notion that men should not have or talk about their feelings. The more you tell Dr. Rich Mahogany about what you’re up against, the more he can cater the content to your situation. Visit mantherapy.org to learn more, carry on!
If you are worried about a friend or family member, you can also use Man Therapy to learn how to open a conversation and support him in his mental health journey.
Safe-Guard Your Home is a pamphlet outlining ways and resources to make your home safer if a family-member or loved one is experiencing a crisis that you fear could lead to harm.
