This resource seems like something worth sharing. We spend so much time talking about online safety, banning phones until a certain age, or banning social media, and not enough time making sure we prepare kids for the dangers of being online at all. It's like banning a child from leaving the house without a parent and then sending them to school with no skills for navigating other people on their own. At some point, kids learning about appropriate and inappropriate behavior and having a safe place to talk about it has to be the priority.

It's not that we shouldn't look at the individual cases; we should. But we have to address the systemic harm done to mental health by these issues. We have to stop pretending that economic issues don't create mental health risks and ignore the real harm we do when we do nothing to lift people out of poverty or end racism and economic deprivation beyond calling anyone who wants to do those things a socialist.

It's not working. It's not solving the real problem.

As Whitney says, and I agree, the real work is in the complexities. That goes for our own mental health issues, healing from abuse, and social issues regarding these topics. We aren't going to solve the mental health crisis by getting people to exercise more. It might help some people, but that one explanation will not work for everyone. We are all much more complex than that simple "fix" would lead us to believe, but believing it reduces the cognitive load of figuring out how to help millions of individuals.

Despite the very well-known podcasts that are out there telling men to suck it up and quit whining about mental health, there are podcasts helping men with their mental health.

This is why that quote above rang true for me. You can't act rationally if acting doesn't feel safe, and many of us grew up never feeling safe. To our mind, staying silent and still was the rational choice. Doing something different could have been more dangerous. It was also the natural reaction because we were simply overwhelmed.

The kids and phones thing was always an easy excuse, but the real mental health issue is much more complicated:

As a survivor of childhood abuse, I don't know if these being in place would have changed whether I reported it. For many of us, where abuse happens within the family, that's a very complex question. What I do know is that those three things did not appear to exist, and that guaranteed I would not tell anyone about it until I was an adult, let alone report it.
