Dr. Rich Mahogany is not a real therapist, but he's tackling a real problem. Working aged men (25-54 years old) account for the largest number of suicide deaths in Colorado. These men are also the least likely to receive any kind of support. They don’t talk about it with their friends. They don’t share with their family. And they sure as heck don’t seek professional treatment. They are the victims of problematic thinking that says mental health disorders are unmanly signs of weakness.
Dr. Rich Mahogany and ManTherapy.org are results of a multi-agency effort, including the Colorado Office of Suicide Prevention, Carson J Spencer Foundation and Cactus. Man Therapy™ is giving men a resource they desperately need. A resource to help them with any problem that life sends their way, something to set them straight on the realities of suicide and mental health, and in the end, a tool to help put a stop to the suicide deaths of so many of our men.
MSRC Directors Thomas Joiner and Pete Gutierrez consulting on the content used in ManTherapy.org, and MSRC recommends the site to any men, veterans or not, struggling with stress, depression or thoughts or suicide.
