A survival guide for the male labeled, and a healthier society for all
Since the pandemic, mental healthcare has become inaccessible to many, and this has hurt certain people more than others (whether that is due to gender bias, racism, transphobia, biphobia, or homophobia). Untreated depression, anxiety, relationship conflict and anger, and trauma pose a risk for all of us in society.
Beyond the Blue is essential reading for anyone who needs to tackle these threats to emotional and physical well-being.
