I Don't Care About Men's Mental Health Month, Here's Why

Beyond Awareness Month: Five Habits for Men’s Mental Health

Host Andy Grant says he cares about men’s mental health beyond awareness campaigns and, as a survivor of multiple suicide attempts, focuses on practical actions rather than statistics. Citing Talkspace’s “Rewriting the Rules” campaign and ambassador Michael Phelps, he shares five habits: make time for joy; redefine strength by being honest and vulnerable; don’t wait for a crisis to ask for help (therapy, coaching, men’s groups, or texting a friend); talk feelings out instead of suppressing them and listen without rushing to fix; and trust your circle by opening up first in the right setting to reduce stigma.

He also relays community feedback that mental health is daily work and that safe, caring dialogue helps men who struggle to articulate. He encourages viewers to reach out to one man and invites them to his Authentic AF group.
