HOW TO CREATE A CONDUCIVE ENVIRONMENT
Don’t force anyone to open up if they’re not ready. Some men might not be able to trust others with their feelings or be vulnerable. Don’t rush the conversation; give them time. Also, understand the impact of toxic masculinity. Men can feel that they are not moving forward in life or not “man” enough due to toxic societal standards of what it means to be a guy. This may lead to insecurities and encourage irresponsible behaviour. Convey that it’s acceptable to not fit in.
