The Struggle is Real: Addressing Men's Mental Health in RI Through "Man Therapy"

In Rhode Island, we know that men face struggles with mental health. According to the 2024 Rhode Island Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey, almost 11% of Rhode Island men reported that they usually or always feel lonely. From 2020 to 2024, the rate of suicide deaths among Rhode Island men was almost two times higher than the overall population. In this episode, Partnership Manager at Grit Digital Health, Thomas Vosseler, talks about how his team is working with RIDOH to meet the mental health needs of men who are struggling.
