Men's Mental Health in College

At a college level, mental health can take a big toll on students impacting their education, relationship, and their general college experience, causing one to miss out on college activities and the freedom around. However, while we talk about college students, my poster is an infographic that talks about mental health revolving around men. We as a society focus so little on men's mental health that we forget that it can affect them as well. My infographic will discuss the effects that mental health takes upon men and the aftermaths of it, such as the statistics of the number of men that are affected, the usage of substance abuse, emotions that they feel, and suicide. With my poster presentation, I hope to not only give an insight and educate people about how important it is to understand men's mental health, but to grow this awareness in most people and spread the message.
