How Do We Change The Silent Crisis Of Men’s Mental Wellbeing
This crisis won’t be solved by policies or word alone. It will be solved by people and by organisations.
By conversations. By compassion. By courage.
By sharing stories. By creating safe spaces.
One man at a time.
We start by redefining strength. Strength is not how much you can endure alone. Strength is the courage to say, “I need help.” Strength is the willingness to be honest, to connect, to be human. We start by creating safe spaces. Imagine households and workplaces where men feel safe to speak. Where the words “I’m struggling” are met with support, not judgment. Where partners and leaders don’t see vulnerability as a liability, but as a path to resilience. And we start by building cultures of compassion. Not soft. Not indulgent. Compassion that is practical, measurable, and transformative. Because when men feel supported, they show up differently. They lead differently. They live differently.
It is a social responsibility of both society and organisations to create an environment which does not let our past dictate our future. Organisations ought to play a greater role promoting mental wellbeing, especially in the workplace, and discouraging any stigmas associated with seeking help and support … affording men the opportunity to express themselves in a safe and comfortable environment. This would mean creating an environment / culture which promotes mental wellbeing, by establishing a holistic mental wellbeing strategy. Because only then, can we as men build healthier more meaningful lives … and the real good news is, when our mental wellbeing is stronger, healthier and more meaningful, it actually creates a positive ripple in the lives of everybody around us, including being more present and engaged in both the household and workplace.
And if the most difficult part for us men, is to reach out and ask for support, then the hardest part for those that wish to support, is to listen without judgement, to listen without fear, to even listen without advice or trying to fix. To just listen and to encourage the men in your life, in your workplace to reach out and get the support that they need. To stick by them and to recognise that they are still the same person. They may be just navigating a difficult part of their life.
This is the very reason why we created InnaSerenity - to guide, to support and to equip people to overcome life, workplace and relationship challenges. Through our immersive multidimensional approach, we help people find pathways to healing, renewed energy and deeper fulfilment - in life, at work, and in relationships. Let’s face it … none of us ever went to “life, workplace or relationship school”. We weren’t taught that it is okay to struggle or to ask for help. We weren’t taught how to cope with trauma, manage emotional pain, or navigate life and workplace challenges in a healthy way. When faced with challenging situations, most of us just do the best we can with what we know - but often, the very habits and coping strategies that get us through challenging times, are the very same ones that hold us back from truly thriving.
… enter our immersive multidimensional approach to healing and our flagship Courses and Neuro Coach & Mentor Programs, which not only give people / men the tools to heal, transform and more successfully navigate their way through life, workplace and relationship challenges, but which also gives them practical examples and shows them how they can repeatedly use the tools and techniques in all areas of their lives, for years to come. The focus is on empowering people / men, so they are not dependent on anyone else for their healing. We believe that it is this focus, supported by our immersive multidimensional approach, that makes our Courses and Programs successful, as they facilitate change in how we think about life, workplaces and relationships. It’s okay to struggle and it's also okay to ask for help!
As the proverb goes: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”
Knowing what to learn and how to apply it, paves the way for healing, growth and fulfilment … especially when combined with a fully immersive multidimensional approach to healing and transformation.

As humans, we are truly blessed to have the gifts of choice and decision making. We don't have to simply accept living with all the hurt, pain and despair present in our lives, relationships and workplaces. The decision is yours, and yours alone. Living a life and having a relationship filled with happiness, joy and fulfilment, is ultimately a choice and best of all, it's YOUR CHOICE!
Life is far too short!
