The holiday season, while often joyful, can bring unique challenges for many—including young men facing mental health struggles. Family Care Center CEO Wayne Cavanaugh recently reflected on this in a LinkedIn article, emphasizing the impact of societal pressures, stigma around seeking help and the weight of modern expectations.
At a recent conference, Wayne encountered alarming statistics about young men’s mental health, including rising rates of male depression, anxiety, substance use and suicidal ideation. These trends highlight the urgent need for accessible mental health resources and supportive environments.
At Family Care Center, we are committed to addressing these issues with evidence-based care and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health. We serve individuals of all ages, offering therapy, psychiatry and innovative treatments like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to help patients on their journey to wellness.
To further support young men’s mental health during the holidays, Wayne offers these practical suggestions.
This season let’s check in with loved ones and remind them that seeking help is a sign of strength. No one should have to face their challenges alone.
