Far to often society sees Men as ”Strong emotionally” and ”Women as expressive”

Men appear stronger because as society dictated they must remain in a state of unexpressive. ”Don't ever cry, don't wear pink, don't show them you are weak, be a man, be tough, show me your muscles, you hit like a girl”

We have heard that each year on September 10, World Suicide Prevention Day marks a commitment to saving lives by bringing together communities from across Canada and around the world.

This year’s theme is Take a Minute, Change a Life to demonstrate the important role we all have to play in supporting those who are vulnerable.

We all have a minute to change a life.

The Challenge is a pink shirt challenge:

“Tough enough to wear pink” to support mental health and to stop the stigma with men.

I need at least 13 people, one for each province and the 3 territories, to support our men, and to get as many men and women to send me a picture with them wearing a pink shirt (it could be the anti-bullying shirts - because this is a part of wellness as well.

We as women can also post or have a sign saying I support #StoppingTheStigma”
