Mental Health
As non-professionals with a personal interest in the topic, we aim to raise awareness about the importance of mental health among men. Through our work, we hope to create an accessible platform that encourages men to reflect on their mental needs and, if necessary, to confidently seek help from professional therapists.

The Importance of Mental Health
Why we focus on this topic
Men are significantly less likely to seek psychotherapeutic help compared to women. According to a study by Shepherd et al. (2023), three key factors contribute to this reluctance: perceptions of masculine identity, societal norms for male behavior, and the way psychological services are provided.
