Some others have mentioned the month of May being mental health month. Let’s continue to be cognizant and looking out for those we may be able to support that are silently struggling. As men we frequently want to put our heads down and power through these things when that’s the opposite of what we really need. Let’s be vigilant and think of those we may be able to extend a helping hand or word of encouragement.
