June is Men’s Mental Health Month—a time to break the silence, challenge the stigma, and encourage honest conversations around mental well-being for men and boys.
Mental health matters to all of us. But too often, outdated expectations make it harder for men to ask for help. It’s time to change that narrative.
Here’s how we can all make a difference:
Start the conversation – A simple “How are you—really?” can mean everything.
Lead with empathy – Create space for honesty without judgment.
Challenge the stigma – Normalize vulnerability and emotional expression.
Share support – Make mental health resources easy to find and easier to access.
If you or someone you know needs help, Care Solace, provided by Ridley School District, is here 24/7/365 to connect you with mental health care or substance use support—confidential and free of charge.

Let’s continue to build a culture of support where everyone feels safe to be themselves and speak up for their well-being.
