Anambra Governor's Wife Advocates for Men's Mental Health

The wife of the Anambra State Governor, Dr. Soludo, has expressed her support for a mental health awareness campaign, particularly focusing on men's mental health.

In her statement issued in Awka, she called for increased awareness and support for men's mental health, urging the creation of an environment where men can seek help without fear of stigma. She highlighted that men often endure emotional and psychological challenges in silence due to societal expectations that discourage them from expressing vulnerability.

Dr. Soludo stressed the importance of promoting open conversations about mental health to contribute to healthier families and communities.

She encouraged men to seek support when facing emotional and mental health challenges rather than suffering in silence. Furthermore, she urged families, religious organizations, and community leaders to establish support systems that enable men to discuss their struggles and access professional help when necessary.

The governor's wife reaffirmed the need for collective action to promote mental well-being and encouraged men to prioritize self-care and social connections.
