Men access health care and mental health care services less than half as often as women do. Facts are facts, most men suffer silently.
But caring for our mental health is not about making huge decisions to see a therapist or admitting that we have an illness. Caring can be something as simple as one decision a day, for just seven days.
Contrary to what you think, self care is not something created by the self-help movement. It’s what you do every time you watch TV, talk with a friend or a partner or reach for your favorite drink. Some of these things are healthy and others, well, they might need a little work.
To join this challenge, you are joining Steve Austin, who knows that recovery and self care are possible because he has hit rock bottom and lived to tell about it. By displaying a great deal of vulnerability, courage, and grace, Steve hopes this simple 7-day challenge will motivate others to not only seek the help they need, but also spark a discussion around the necessity of self-care in everyday life.
