#Mental Health Awareness

In a remarkable convergence of athletic talent and mental health advocacy, ultra-endurance athlete Angus Collins embarks on a significant journey to amplify awareness about men’s mental health. Known for his adventurous spirit and five impressive world records, including being the youngest to row across the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic oceans, Collins now sets his sights on a cause that has profoundly personal roots. Five years after surviving a suicide attempt, he is determined to use his platform to inspire men and boys to bravely express their insecurities and mental health struggles.

A recent mental health report has captured global attention with its unsettling findings on adolescent mental health. The report reveals that a significant number of suicidal teenagers are not reaching out for help, highlighting an urgent need for open discussions and better support structures. This issue is increasingly relevant in Thailand, where mental health is often shrouded in stigma, preventing youth from seeking the help they need.

The report, extensively covered by Yahoo News, indicates that in Monroe County, a considerable proportion of teenagers considering suicide do not seek assistance. The situation reflects a broader crisis in mental health support systems, compounded by social stigma and lack of awareness. The findings resonate with Thailand’s ongoing struggle to improve mental health outreach among young people, where cultural barriers and limited resources often impede progress.
