EDITOR ’ S NOTE
The concept for MENTION IT arose from the ongoing stigma surrounding men ’ s mental health . We have seen the way it affects our friends and family and noticed there is a limited amount of material when it comes to helping men deal with their mental health . According to a Priory Group survey , one-third of 18 to 34-year-old men have sought help for their mental health ; however , all men should feel comfortable seeking help .
When it comes to mental health , it is all about balance . There are highs and there are lows , days when you want to be with everyone and days when you want to be alone . MENTION IT aims to find that perfect balance to deliver powerful and helpful content to help men who suffer with mental health issues , and those who aim to support those around them .
Regardless of what stage you may be at in your mental health journey , we hope that MENTION IT will resonate with you , by letting you know it is okay to not be okay .
