What happens when men don’t talk?
He says “I’m fine.”
But what does that really mean?
During Mental Health Awareness Month, and under this year’s theme “Come Together, Canada,” we’re creating space for an important and often difficult conversation — the mental health of newcomer men.
Many carry the quiet weight of expectations: to provide, to adapt, to stay strong. But what happens when those pressures go unspoken?
Join us for a live conversation featuring:
🟢 Afraa Akasha (Calgary) – Registered Psychologist, CCIS
🟢 Shibu Angadiyath (Medicine Hat) – Mental Health Therapist, Recovery Alberta
Together, we’ll explore:
- Silence, stigma, and identity
- The realities of urban vs. rural support
- What “coping” can look like beneath the surface
- And how we can begin to shift the conversation

This conversation is for anyone who wants to better understand, support, or reflect.
Because sometimes, starting the conversation is the most powerful first step.
