Mental Health and Masculinity
Teviot Poster Boards
This piece reflects on the contemporary views of masculinity and the mental health of male athletes. Cruel words mixed with societal pressures can leave their toll, and a step in the right direction is to first realise, understand, and address the issues. In a world where acceptance continues to blossom for all body shapes, those in the spotlight and in front of the camera still find themselves under scrutiny; sacrificing their mental health by shaping themselves to fit a societal mould.
