Why Prince Harry Sharing His Mental Health Struggles Is So Important

When public figures or popular television shows bring up sensitive issues, it sends a message to the public that it’s okay to get help. I’m hopeful that many men across the world will follow the example of Prince Harry ? a man who served his country in the military, and who, for all intents and purposes, is the epitome of machismo ? and reach out for support. Whether it’s grief, unresolved trauma, depression, or even suicidal ideations, we as men need to break down the stigma around mental health. Prince Harry’s revelation today is one huge crack in that wall ? and with any luck, the first of many more to come.
