Men's Mental Health @ MRU: Breaking Down the Barriers to Men's Mental Health

November 22, 2024 • Healthy Campus Team

In this first episode of our men's mental health @ MRU series, we dive deep into the barriers that prevent men from seeking help, exploring societal expectations, and vulnerability. Our guests, Eli Buechler, an MRU psychology student, and Ryan McAuley from the Calgary Counselling Centre, share their insights on how these obstacles manifest and what can be done to change the narrative. Together, they discuss the steps men can take to begin their journey toward better mental health.
