Through inspiring stories and lived experiences, the evening will highlight how men can embrace openness and prioritize mental well-being.
A dynamic panel featuring men’s voices from diverse walks of life. These voices will lead an engaging discussion on how each they actively breaks the silence to support their own mental health, offering insight, encouragement, and practical ways for others to do the same.
