Watch: Briefcase Man Calls For Greater Support For Men’s Mental Health

The Briefcase Man has shared a heartfelt message urging people to rethink how society treats men who open up about their struggles.

Reflecting on the recent suicides in Malta, he noted that six of those who died in recent months were men before asking, “When will we realise that it’s okay for a man to open his heart and be vulnerable?”

He went on to say that many of those lost were professionals, teachers, fathers and people whose families “had no idea” they were suffering.

“When a man opens up, he is often mocked,” he wrote, adding that while it is generally seen as more natural for women to express their emotions, “that’s something we all need to change.”

The Briefcase Man also revealed that he receives hundreds of messages every day from young people who tell him his videos have helped them through difficult times.

“Perhaps some of them found reasons to keep going that they didn’t think they had,” he wrote, explaining that this is why he continues creating awareness content despite the challenges.

Ending his message with a call for compassion, he urged people to “save our professionals, our brothers and our friends” before it’s too late.
