I couldn't be more grateful that we're expanding the Local News International partnership with Harry's to support the cause of men's mental health. We hear frequently from our readers in the wake of major news events that they're coping with mental health issues and are looking for support. Thanks to the team at Harry's, especially Nick Dimichino and Jielin Eeo for their continued support.

I am so proud of our collaboration with Harry's and the shared commitment with Local News International to support men's mental health. Today, we're launching a new series with Harry's focused on calling attention to this epidemic. Miners, fishermen & construction workers have this in common. They all face unique job-related stressors, stereotypes, and barriers to mental health care. Yet despite their elevated risk, there has been little first-hand data capturing their lived experiences. A study conducted by Harry's and Riverside Community Care aims to understand, explain, highlight, and raise awareness of occupational hardships, stressors, rewards, and mental health concerns directly from men working in these three industries. Some key findings: * Many participants felt invisible, despite the essential, and very dangerous, nature of their work * The participants’ labor puts food on the table and builds the roads, buildings, and infrastructure that society relies on every day, but they ultimately felttheir needs were not recognized; and * To meaningfully reduce stigma and improve help-seeking, it is essential to identify mental health, suicide prevention, and substance This video was made as part of our partnership with Harry's.
