It's #menshealthweek! We will be focusing on men's mental health issues this week on social media, and encourage you to reach out to someone in your life to talk about the need for awareness. Together, we can break the stigma and connect people with the health care they need.

During #menshealthweek, it's important to know the facts. Visit afsp.org to learn more, or call us at 319-362-2174 to speak with a crisis counselor today.

During #menshealthweek, can you help eliminate stigma toward getting mental health support? Start a conversation with someone you care about. At Foundation 2, we can help you learn how to have that conversation, or assist you or someone you care about during a crisis.

We are here for you, even at 3 a.m.
