Men’s Mental Health Month
Join the conversation.
Approximately 31% of college aged men report they have experienced depression. In recognition of Men’s Mental Health Month in November, UHS hosts Barbershop Talks, a space for students to engage in informal conversations about their mental wellbeing while they receive a free haircut.
Students may choose to participate in a roundtable discussion as they wait. Topics will include:
- Messages men receive about their emotions
- Mental health and relationships
- Navigating loneliness & creating community
- Stress, success, and pressure
- How to better support men
