    Are YOU #ManEnough to change the narrative? Masculinity and it’s relationship with mental health need to be redefined.

    Our society has repeatedly taught men from a young age that they aren’t allowed to show vulnerability, as though they’re void of emotions that all humans have.

    This is killing us. Men account for 75%* of suicides in Canada, and the fear of being seen as weak, or lesser, combined with the false narrative that showing emotion and getting help isn’t “manly” can lead to tragic consequences.

    This video was created to challenge the status quo, and hopefully, to shed a light on why we need to change this stereotype. Because one life lost, is one life too many. Will YOU be #ManEnough to change the narrative?
