Sask. mental health advocates aiming to end stigma for men
Two Saskatchewan men have made it their life mission to end the stigma on mental health.
Allan Kehler, an International Keynote Speaker, and J.R. Larose, a retired CFL player, have been travelling to different communities in the province in hopes of encouraging people to reach out, especially men.
According to the Canadian Men’s Health Foundation, roughly one million men struggle with their mental health each year but only about 30 per cent of people using available services are men.
Larose explained it was tough to finally open up but it’s something he’s glad he did.
