Growing a moustache is just the beginning 🥸 This Movember, let's talk about men's mental health. Stigma and social expectations can make it harder for men to speak openly about their mental health or seek support. Challenging these barriers matters. 💙 The EU's comprehensive approach to mental health promotes prevention, supports mental wellbeing and aims to improve access to quality, affordable mental healthcare. Talking about mental health should never be something to shy away from.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu "Harder for men to reach out" 🤔 And none of those conditions are encountered by women. Interesting perspective considering the weight of living under the burden of misogyny that has the sole purpose to silence women asking their needs be met. Perhaps there's a need to reexamine exactly what's really going on? Maybe try changing your message to "it's difficult for men" would be less offensive and closer to the truth.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu For me personally I have a rule: "Only in here 🧠, never out there 🌍️ " I know it's bad but I've seen too many examples of it being used against you so I myself am a little more careful with this
