Mental wellness has become an essential part of any productive, balanced, and healthy workplace. However, for men, the stigma surrounding mental health issues continues to hinder open discussions, leading to unaddressed issues, burnout, and even compromised job performance. Recognizing this gap, SOULSARA is thrilled to host an upcoming webinar titled “Mental Wellness for Men: Breaking Stigmas in the Workplace” on 22nd November from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. 

The session will delve into the unique challenges men face when addressing mental health at work, offering practical insights and tools to promote a healthier, more open work environment.

Why Focus on Men’s Mental Wellness?

The global conversation around mental health has made remarkable progress in recent years, yet men’s mental health remains a sensitive and often neglected topic. According to a 2022 World Health Organization (WHO) report, men are less likely than women to seek help for mental health concerns due to societal pressures, stereotypes, and workplace expectations. In fact, a study by Movember, a leading global men’s health charity, found that 58% of men feel societal expectations prevent them from talking about their mental health.

In professional environments, this reluctance often translates into decreased productivity, higher turnover rates, and increased stress levels. For example, research conducted by the American Psychological Association (APA) revealed that men are less likely to report symptoms of depression or anxiety, making them more susceptible to burnout. Additionally, according to a report by Deloitte, untreated mental health issues among employees, particularly men, can cost businesses over $200 billion annually in the U.S. alone, in terms of lost productivity and absenteeism. Addressing men’s mental wellness, therefore, is not only vital for employee well-being but also crucial for organizational performance and cost savings.
