Men's Mental Health
Men experience mental health challenges at similar rates as others, but many male students face additional obstacles when it comes to seeking help. Despite this need, national data reveals that men are significantly less likely to access mental health support, with fewer than half reporting they sought or received care when needed. Among college-aged men, barriers to accessing support often include stigma, fear of appearing vulnerable, internalized pressure to manage issues independently, and a reluctance to burden others.
The University Counseling Center acknowledges these barriers, and our dedicated staff are committed to providing a safe, confidential environment to address mental health challenges. Seeking support can empower men to build resilience, manage stress, and maintain balance, benefiting their academic performance, relationships, and overall well-being. Schedule an appointment to speak with a counselor, or check out our additional resources including, Let's Talk, Togetherall 24/7 online peer support community, and Mental Health Screenings.
Prioritizing mental health is a sign of strength and a key component of personal success—our team is here to help every step of the way.
