TEDx Talk: Mental Health Crisis in Men | Allan Kehler

Men. We are dying at a suicide rate that is three times greater than women.

Why?

What prevents men from reaching out for help?

My hope is that this TEDx talk can empower men to be vulnerable and reach out for help.

 
Based on my best-selling book MENtal Health: It’s Time to Talk, this TEDx talk features men who, just like me, have persevered through various mental health challenges.

While the pressure to be ‘strong’ still exists in our society, silence has never equalled strength.

Vulnerability equals strength.

The time to talk about men and mental health is NOW.

 

“What’s stronger than a broken man who has the courage to rebuild himself? It’s time to redefine what it means to be strong.”

- Allan Kehler
