Patronizing and talking down to men about their mental health is not helping and often comes across as rather hateful (which turns away many men in the process). Let's work with men, not against them.
I know a guy who was suicidal, and had another attempt (cut short) a few months ago. He tried seeking help, and let me know the runaround he gets.
He was told that little exists for him, because he is a man, but to call a phone number to find "resources." He called that number, they told him they couldn't help, but to call a 2nd number for "resources." He tried that number. They did the same, and gave him the number to the 1st place he contacted.
So, he received no help, because literally none exists unless one is wealthy enough to afford it. Sadly, that guy isn't. So what do we do about men who have issues? Someone said it best with "oh, just let them fuck off and die." Apparently society agrees.
