OUR MISSION
Face It, through educational programs and other public initiatives, helps men understand the risks associated with depression and works with those who are depressed find a path to recovery.
PHILOSOPHY
The needs of men with clinical depression are unique, misunderstood, and often ignored. Men are far less likely than women to recognize, admit, or seek treatment for their depression. Additionally, men often reject the notion of taking an antidepressant and/or seeing a counselor thus often leaving them without any other formal treatment options to consider. Research is continually demonstrating that mild to moderate depression responds well to lifestyle changes such as routine exercise, appropriate sleep, increased socialization, balanced diet, and stress management. For men with more severe depression the use of an antidepressant, along with counseling, and lifestyle changes are critical.
In order for a man to move beyond his depression, it is critical to use a multi-faceted approach. This approach incorporates the support of family, friends, community, the workplace, places of worship, recreational activities and lifestyle changes. It also requires peer-support, self-examination, and a pledge of personal accountability to be honest with himself about the behaviors, attitudes and activities he engages in that impair his ability to beat his depression.
