We need our fathers to be both physically and mentally healthy! The National Association on Mental Illness (NAMI) gives great tips on how to ensure your fathers, husbands, sons, and all the men in your life stay happy and engaged in the lives of their community, family, and children.

“There is often a strong focus on men’s physical health — fitness, annual checkups, and heart health — but mental well-being is equally as important because mental health is health!

Just as the body needs care and attention, so does emotional and mental well-being. Yet, there is a silent crisis in men’s mental health — one that too often goes unnoticed or unspoken. Tragically, men are nearly four times more likely to die by suicide than women*, underscoring the urgent need to break this silence and seek support.

Small steps can lead to significant change, changes that we all can lead together. Let’s build a culture where men feel safe speaking up and reaching out. As a community, we can break the stigma, support one another, and ensure no one struggles in silence.”
