For churches & counselors
Most men in your church are struggling silently.
One in four men experience depression but won’t seek help. Most have zero close friends they can be honest with. Seventy percent of church leaders say men are the hardest to engage. Behind the handshakes and “I’m fine,” men are exhausted, isolated and one crisis away from their marriage, career or faith falling apart.
