Wife of the governor of Anambra State has urged men to learn to unburden themselves, instead of suppressing emotions.
Mrs Soludo stated this in a press release she made to mark the Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, which is always celebrated in June.
She said: “This June, as we observe Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s important to shine a light on a conversation that is often overlooked but deeply important.
“For generations, many men have been taught to carry their burdens in silence, to suppress emotions, and to equate strength with enduring pain alone. Yet true strength also lies in speaking up, seeking support, and prioritizing emotional and mental well-being.
“As we work towards healthier families and communities, we must create spaces where men feel safe to express themselves, ask for help when needed, and receive the care, attention, and understanding they deserve. Mental health is not a sign of weakness; it is an essential part of overall health.
“To every man striving, fighting, providing, leading, and navigating life’s challenges: your well-being really matters. Take time to rest, connect, seek support, and care for your mind just as you care for your body. We love you so much,” the wife of the governor said.
