@ChiromoHospGrp Q7:

Speaking openly about challenges facing men. Having forums where men can share their challenges. Get them involved as much as possible.

Re-write and re-define masculinity, centered on men's emotional needs.

#MensHealthMonth

[Purity Ashkoe @purity_ashkoe]

@ChiromoHospGrp Q7;

We could start from the grassroots, from our homes, communities, churches, mosques, etc.

Encourage participation of men in activities that bring out emotions and not just focus on physical strength.

@ChiromoHospGrp Q6:

It would be nice to see a man in power breaking the silence on men's mental health. It will go a long way in reducing stigma.

[Purity Ashkoe @purity_ashkoe]

@ChiromoHospGrp Q5:

#HonouringtheMan

Awareness, awareness, awareness. I strongly feel the back stops at this. Those involved in the rights of passage for boys can only advocate for what they know.

[Purity Ashkoe @purity_ashkoe]

@ChiromoHospGrp Q4:

I am a mum to three boys and I am plagued with thoughts of how to create safe spaces for them, so that they are aware of the spaces should feel.

If the concept of masculinity is inculcated into men from childhood, then mental health importance and safe spaces can as well

[Purity Ashkoe @purity_ashkoe]

@ChiromoHospGrp Q4:

Awareness reduces stigma and addresses the bias around the issue.

[Purity Ashkoe @purity_ashkoe]

@ChiromoHospGrp Q4:

Awareness on mental health issues is of top most priority. Forums such as these that seek to dissect masculinity in relation to mental health, as well as teaching our children from an early age, that emotions are valid.

[Purity Ashkoe @purity_ashkoe]

@ChiromoHospGrp Stigma and shame are also great impediments for men seeking out help on matters mental health. Fear of vulnerability, not wanting to feel 'exposed'.
