Dr. Byron Garcia Offers Tips to Destigmatize Mental Health in Young Men
Despite the progress that’s been made in talking about and addressing mental health, stigma still remains—especially in young male populations. For many teen boys and young men, it can be difficult for them to express how they’re feeling or admit that they have been struggling with mental health. Despite efforts being made around freedom of emotional expression, many boys still feel pressured to put on a brave face and pretend things are all okay.
So how do we get our loved ones the support they need if they’re not expressing it? How can caretakers encourage their sons who may be struggling to open up?
Join us as Dr. Byron Garcia shares ways to create safe spaces for self-expression, explains the signs and symptoms of common mental health conditions in young men and boys, and answers questions about how to encourage male teens and young adults to seek treatment if it’s needed.
