The theme of Tools to Thrive is to provide practical tools that everyone can use to improve their mental health and increase resiliency, regardless of the situations they are dealing with. These tools are more useful than ever.<\/p>\n
One way to check in on yourself is to take a mental health screen, or a “checkup from the neck up,” so to speak. It\u2019s a quick, free and private way to assess your mental health and recognize signs of mental health problems. Mental Health America, one of the nation\u2019s leading resources on mental health and well-being, encourages everyone to take a mental health screen, regardless of how you view your own mental health.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/screening-tools\/?ref=MHAIndy” button_text=”Take a mental health checkup” _builder_version=”4.16.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”|800|||||||” header_3_font_size=”30px” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” header_3_font_size_tablet=”35px” header_3_font_size_phone=”30px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Compared to women, men are less likely to seek help for depression, substance abuse and stressful life events. Men often downplay their symptoms and are reluctant to talk about the struggles they face because of social norms. But mental health challenges are treatable. Firefly Family and Children Alliance is committed to making information about men\u2019s mental health readily available.
