Why this petition matters

Started by diana anzaldua

Contigo Wellness, an Austin-based Mental Health & Wellness non-profit, focuses on removing barriers to mental health care and increasing healing equity for BIPOC communities.

Contigo Wellness would also like to declare April as the official Men's Mental Health Awareness Month to destigmatize mental health as the Male community have higher rates of Substance Use Disorders, and Suicidality.

Men with mental illnesses are also less likely to have received mental health treatment than women in the past year. However, men are more likely to die by suicide than women, according to the CDC. 

Contigo Wellness is striving to help men access healing in Austin, and throughout Texas so men can continue to be healthier individuals in our communities. Sign our petition to show support of men prioritizing mental health care without stigmatization.
