The State of Men’s Health in Canada Is a Crisis We Can No Longer Ignore
- The Movember Institute of Men's Health released a 2024 report revealing a crisis in Canadian men's health marked by high premature death and mental health struggles.
- This crisis results from barriers like stigma, masculine stereotypes, and outdated ideas of strength that discourage men from seeking help or expressing vulnerability.
- The report notes men account for 72 percent of accidental opioid deaths and nearly 75 percent of suicides, while 44 percent die prematurely from preventable causes.
- Surveys found 61 percent of men feel pressure to “tough it out,” and young men engaging with masculinity influencers show higher psychological distress and risky behaviors.
- The findings urge Canada to develop a National Men's Health Strategy to improve prevention, mental-health literacy, and gender-aware care to reduce deaths and improve outcomes.
