突然回ってきた、誰もが知る外資系企業の男性社員さんに対するZOOM講演の仕事。

「男性のメンタルヘルスについて」

なのですが、2日で一気に最近の事例を学び、対処法含めたプレゼン仕上げました。

僕の感想は一言。

「やっぱり男はつらいよ」。

男性が助けを求めない「3つの壁」

1）恥と弱さのイメージ

“不調を語る＝敗北”　そんな誤解が根深い。

2）身体症状として表れやすい

肩こり、頭痛、不眠として現れ、気分の落ち込みとしては訴えにくい。

3）受診の遅れが重症化を招く

結果として、自殺リスクを高める。なんと女性の3倍。

そんな男たちを救えるプレゼンにしようと思います。

**I was suddenly asked to give a Zoom lecture for a well-known global company—

a session specifically for their male employees on “Men’s Mental Health.”

In just two days, I absorbed the latest cases and research and finished the presentation, including practical approaches.

My honest takeaway?

“Being a man is tough.”

The Three Barriers That Keep Men From Asking for Help

1) Shame and the association with weakness

There’s a deeply rooted misconception that

“talking about your struggles = losing.”

2) Symptoms often appear as physical problems

Stiff shoulders, headaches, insomnia—

making it harder for men to articulate emotional distress as mood issues.

3) Delayed treatment leads to severe outcomes

As a result, the risk of suicide increases—

men are three times more likely to die by suicide than women.

I want this presentation to be something that genuinely reaches these men—

something that might actually help save them.
