According to the American Journal of Men’s Health, six million U.S. men experience depression annually. Mental Health America reports nearly 1 in 10 face depression or anxiety, yet less than half seek treatment.
Discussions at the Men’s Mental Health Expo will foster community, challenge stigma, and promote open, honest dialogue on men’s mental health.
The event is facilitated by Stillwell, facilitator of important community conversations through Obie’s Breakfast Club, a speaker series bringing together diverse voices throughout the city of Columbus.
