As men, not talking about our mental health contributes to our detriment and robs us of the deeper connections that we crave. This presentation considers the myths of manhood, their consequences, and how to break free. (this is just an example)

Data suggest that men are often relucent to acknowledge mental health concerns or to seek psychotherapy to manage distress. Through use of a case study, this session will consider how to create a welcoming and effective therapeutic environment that facilitates the male patient’s engagement, emotional awareness, and appreciation of vulnerability.
