Suicide is a serious public health concern. It can affect anyone and is complex with risk factors varying by age, gender, and ethnicity.

Mental health is just as important for men as it is for women, but there is still a stigma attached to men seeking help for mental health problems. This stigma can prevent men from getting the help they need, and it can lead to serious consequences, such as suicide.
