Breaking the stigma of silence around men’s mental health

Canadian men are three times more likely to die by suicide than women, according to Statistics Canada. Behind this statistic lies a common reality: the difficulty of talking about suffering and asking for help. Silence drives many to suffer alone, sometimes to the point of addiction. To mark Men’s Health Month, some of them are sharing their stories. All of them have been through the Prairie Sky Recovery addiction treatment center, located in the hamlet of Leipzig in northwestern Saskatchewan. #cbcnews #sasaktchewan #healthcare #mentalhealth #menshealth
