Breaking the Stigma: Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and HOLA! sits down with Lidia K. Oviedo-Torres at Happy & Healthy Counseling for an important conversation surrounding mental wellness, emotional health, and the challenges many men silently face every day. During the interview, we discuss common topics surrounding men’s mental health, including stress, anxiety, emotional pressure, communication, and the importance of seeking support when needed. We also talk about some of the most common myths surrounding men’s mental health including the idea that asking for help is a sign of weakness or that men should always “handle things on their own.” Through this conversation, the goal is to help create awareness, encourage healthy conversations, and remind our community that mental health matters for everyone. Happy & Healthy Counseling is located at 6262 McPherson Rd Suite 206, Laredo, TX 78041.
