Every June, Men’s Health Month serves as an important reminder to raise awareness about the unique health challenges men face—both physical and mental. At Vanguard Research Group, we recognize that addressing men’s health means looking beyond physical screenings and fitness goals. Mental health is a critical, and often overlooked, part of the conversation.

 

Men are statistically less likely to seek help for mental health concerns, even though they experience high rates of depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, and suicide. Societal pressures, stigma, and traditional expectations around masculinity can contribute to underreporting and untreated conditions. This month is an opportunity to challenge those norms and encourage open dialogue, access to care, and early intervention.

 

As a leader in mental health research, Vanguard Research Group is committed to advancing clinical trials that better understand how mental health conditions affect men—and how treatment approaches can be tailored to meet their specific needs. Through data-driven insights and inclusive study designs, we strive to develop solutions that reflect the realities of those we aim to help.

 

This June, we encourage men everywhere to take charge of their well-being—not just by scheduling annual check-ups, but by checking in on their mental health, too. Whether that means speaking with a professional, engaging in stress-relieving activities, or simply having an honest conversation with a friend, every step counts.

 

Let’s use Men’s Health Month 2025 to normalize mental health care for men and continue building a culture where seeking help is a sign of strength—not weakness.
