Men are less likely to get the care they need, whether that’s mental health, physical health, or social support for life’s challenges. Many end up suffering in silence, feeling they have to handle everything alone. The question now is how to help men take that step toward meaningful support — support that can strengthen not only their personal lives but also their performance and well-being at work.
In recognition of Men’s Health Awareness Month, Lyra and Posterity Health are partnering for a candid conversation that challenges the old way of thinking about men’s health. They’ll unpack the realities men face today, from workplace stress and caregiving responsibilities to health concerns. With men four times more likely to die by suicide yet far less likely to seek help than women, the need for action is urgent.
Join them to learn practical strategies, hear new data, and explore how integrated mental and physical health support can break down barriers and improve outcomes for employees and employers alike.
What you’ll learn:
- Why men often avoid seeking help, and practical ways to increase engagement
- What the latest data reveals about men’s health, from reducing costs to building more equitable, productive workplaces
- How Lyra and Posterity Health are partnering to connect men’s health and mental health care in a more supportive approach
