I’m admittedly new to running a community anywhere online, but saw a need so I’m trying to fill it and help where I can. I’ve had plenty of my own issues over the years and am hoping for a safe space where men can discuss their own brands of issues. For now we’re gonna run by the Bartender Rule & few other rules stolen shamelessly from !mentalhealth@lemmy.world :
Together, we make this community great. Thank you for being here. Please actively participate in the discussions. Please show respect and empathy when replying to posts.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
1-Posts promoting paid products and services of any kind are not allowed here.
2-All our content must be helpful and appropriate. Do not put vulnerable people at risk and mind the way you approach when need be.
3-Do not DM any of our members unless they specifically request it. Likewise, if a person from here disturbs you, you are encouraged to report them to us(with evidence) and block them. They will be banned instantly.
4-Posts about suicide and/or dying are not allowed here. Your content may trigger others & put them at risk, and we do NOT want that to happen.

That was so refreshing to read. It was nice hear a psychologist who advice isn't "treat them like girls" or "treat them like soldiers"
I really liked the last part where he said that helping boys is not easy because so many of them can seem unapproachable and rejecting and then says "I can vouch for the durability of their bedrock humanity even when it is less apparent.... we all know a man who was rescued by love.
