Mindset Bros Supporting Mens Mental Health

Donation protected

Mindset Bros is a community focused on men's mental health. We aim to break the stigma surrounding men expressing emotions by fostering a safe, supportive space for men to share their struggles. Our initiatives encourage vulnerability as a strength and promote emotional intelligence. We offer free resources, confidential support, and meetups to connect men facing challenges like anxiety or depression. Our ultimate goal is to change societal perceptions of masculinity and improve men's mental well-being. We are currently looking into ways of raising more funds to allow us to keep everything we do for our community free and accessible.

ANY help you can provide to aid in the mission of keeping this community free for ALL men suffering with mental health and looking to improve their mental health would be most greatly appreciated. The lack of funding and support for men's mental health is staggering! Here are some facts that may alarm you and help you to understand why we need your support;

Men are less likely to seek treatment
Men are less likely to get treatment for mental health disorders than women. This can lead to underdiagnosis and men suffering in silence.

Men are more likely to die by suicide
Men are more likely to die by suicide than women. In 2020, men died by suicide 3.88 times more than women.

Men have higher rates of substance abuse
Men have higher rates of alcohol and illegal drug use and dependence than women. Men are also more likely to die from overdose and require an emergency department visit.

Men's mental health can be affected by social norms
Social norms can lead to men internalising public attitudes that can cause embarrassment and shame. For example, in the Black community, mental health is considered a taboo topic.

Men's mental health can be affected by childhood experiences
Boys are often told to keep quiet about their emotions and that men don't talk to each other.

Together we can help more men, not only survive but, thrive through support and providing a safe space.

The funds we raise will be used to host events and rent out venues to provide safe spaces for men to come and speak. It will also go toward setting up support systems for men to call or message at times of crisis.

Thank you for reading and for your continued support.
