June is recognized by Mental Health America as Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. Often times, the misconception that men do not struggle with mental health issues makes those that do feel unable to reach out for help or support. A Pathway To Joy seeks to start breaking down that stigma and remind everyone that there is a place for men in caring for and supporting mental health issues. Checking in on the men in your life should be a daily occurrence. So, take June as a reminder to check in on your male coworkers, family members, friends, and strangers to see how they are doing.
