Did you know that on average, 8 Canadian men die by suicide each day? From a young age, men in our society are conditioned to resist expressing emotion and to believe that asking for help is a sign of weakness. Toxic phrases such as “boys don’t cry” and “man up” are all too common, leading to the reluctance many men feel when it comes to seeking mental health resources. It’s your chance to speak your mind! Submit an entry to our Down With “Man Up” Media Contest. Submissions can be anything from a painting to a poem to a video to a song, focusing on sending a meaningful message about men’s mental health. The winner will receive a $500 cash prize and the runner up will receive $500 of travel credit courtesy of VIA Rail Canada!
