Man-Up for Mental Health

Man-Up for Mental Health

About

We are a diverse group of students representing many different faculties, countries, and backgrounds. One thing we all have in common is a passion for improving mental health.

Man-Up has three main objectives,

1. Remove gender as a barrier when reaching out to support

People of all genders face struggles and concerns in regards to their mental health. We also know that it can be especially more challenging for men to ask for help when they need, so we are working to create a campus without stigma or barriers so everyone can achieve their own mental wellness. We want to re-define the phrase "Man Up" such that manning up does not simply mean trying to hide and ignore their feelings; rather, to have the courage to connect with others in times of need.

 

2. Promote Safer Drinking

We know that drinking can be a big part of socializing in university and for some, alcohol might be a way of coping with poor or declining mental health. We want to talk about drinking in a way that doesn’t result in harm to yourself or those around you. We are NOT about stopping drinking, it’s all about harm reduction.

 

3. Connecting Students

University can be overwhelming and between classes, work, and worrying about your future, you might feel pretty alone. We are here to tell you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE! We want a campus where people can connect to those around them and we are trying to create those circumstances. Come check out an event and connect with others!
