Working-age men continue to be at high risk for suicide throughout the U.S – they are also the hardest to reach and to engage in traditional mental health and suicide prevention services. This presentation will provide an overview of Man Therapy (www.ManTherapy.com) a free, online, innovative approach to reaching men that provides education and support for suicide prevention, and integrates humor into traditional methods for engaging men in help-seeking behaviors. Dr. Frey will present research about Man Therapy and the broader public health campaigns she is leading to promote Man Therapy throughout the community and Dr. Demers will provide an overview of how Man Therapy was created and continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of men throughout the U.S. The presenters will include a live demo of the site and talk with social workers and others in the audience about how they can integrate Man Therapy into their practice, community organizations and other settings to help engage men in help-seeking behavior and suicide prevention, while also providing support to men who are more actively engaged in formal treatment.
