"A man knows no pain."
"Real men don't cry."
"Men are not afraid."
Many men have grown up with these or similar phrases or have been shaped in this way. It's no wonder that many find it difficult to talk openly about feelings or problems. Often this has simply not been learned and it does not correspond to the internalized traditional role models or the perceived social pressure to "be strong".
But MAN CAN also have worries, feel overwhelmed, become mentally ill or contemplate suicide. The figures even show that significantly more men take their own lives than women. There are many reasons for this. One of them is that men are often less aware of their mental health and are much less likely to seek support when problems arise. Often out of fear of being judged for it.
The "MANN KANN" information day invites you to change this. Men, relatives and anyone else who is interested will have the opportunity to obtain information in a variety of uncomplicated ways and exchange ideas with others and experts.
Info day "MANN KANN" on November 8th in the Stadthaus Frankfurt:
