Last month, health benefits business owner and public speaker Lester Morales posted a call to action on LinkedIn in the wake of two suicides of men who, on the surface, seemed to have it all. Along with some statistics, he talked about his own fears and insecurities and asked other men to do the same, initiating a far too rare — yet essential — discussion.
“If the stats are correct, we are surrounded by a bunch of men who are not doing well,” he says. “How do we start acknowledging that there is somebody sitting next to us who’s not OK and open the door for a conversation?”
