'A different approach': Atlanta-based organizations provide mental health resources for men

The end of June marks the final week of Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, a period of raising support and awareness of the mental health struggles often faced specifically by men throughout the United States.

In Georgia, the need for mental awareness continues to rise as more males become victims of anxiety, depression and suicide.

While men are less likely to be diagnosed for depression or mental illness, they are four times more likely to end their lives on a national level, according to 2021 data from the National Institute of Mental Illness.
