According to a 2020 study by INSPQ, boys between the ages of 15 and 19 are more likely to commit suicide (7\/100,000 for boys vs 5\/100,000 for girls), but girls are four times more likely to be hospitalized for attempted suicide and three times more likely to go to emergency services in the event of attempted suicide. Moreover, Statistics Canada reveals that, nationwide, <strong>men have a suicide rate around three times higher than that of women<\/strong> (18 men vs 5 women per 100,000 people).*<\/p>\n<h5>How can we explain this phenomenon?<\/h5>\n<p><strong>We observe that boys are less inclined to ask for help and that the symptoms of distress they develop are different from those of girls, which could lead to hidden depression.<\/strong> Rather than expressing their angst through sadness, boys are more inclined to adopt aggressive, hotheaded or risky behaviours such as falling into addiction or playing with death. They also have a tendency to avoid situations that make them uncomfortable by obsessing over a sport, for example.<\/p>\n<p>These behaviours, which don\u2019t live up to the stereotypes of psychological distress, make boys less likely to be identified by health services, especially during adolescence when impulsive behaviours are naturally more prevalent.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n[vc_empty_space]<div class=\"fjet-module-container module-image module-with-overflow matchHeight bg-color module-bg-color-vertPale \">\n    <!-- Image au centre dans le container en position BACK -->\n    <div class=\"container \">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12\">\n                <div class=\"img-container overflow-container\">\n                <div class=\"img-radius-8\">                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fondationjeunesentete.tor1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/10\/pere-fils-sante-mentale-garcons.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"img-fluid\">\n                <\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"fjet-module-container module-title-container module-without-overflow  bg-color module-bg-color-blanc    \">\n            <div class=\"decoration-box desktop\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/fondationjeunesentete.tor1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/gribouillis-jaune.svg')\"><\/div><div class=\"decoration-box mobile\" style=\"background-image: url('')\"><\/div>\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                <div class=\"col-12\">\n                    <div class=\"content-txt \">\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"content-vc\">\n                        [vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;]<div class=\"fjet-module-container module-image module-with-overflow matchHeight  \">\n    <!-- Image au centre dans le container en position BACK -->\n    <div class=\"container \">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12\">\n                <div class=\"img-container overflow-container\">\n                <div class=\"img-radius-8\">                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" class=\"img-fluid\">\n                <\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"fjet-module-container image-texte-module  \">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12\">\n    <div class=\"content-img\" >\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"content-txt\"  >\n                        <\/p>\n<h4>Why do boys seem to be less concerned about their mental health than other population groups?<\/h4>\n<p>Despite the progress that has been made in redefining so-called masculine identities, <strong>the issue of mental health still seems to be taboo among men<\/strong>. With certain ideas linked to toxic masculinity still a reality, young boys often find it difficult to show their emotions.<\/p>\n<p>The stereotype of a \u201creal man\u201d we expect is that he is strong, in control of his emotions, is able to solve his own problems without the help of others and doesn\u2019t talk much about himself. Not conforming to these principles can often mean facing rejection from peers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Orlando Ceide<\/strong> suggests that <strong>there is a correlation between this refusal to seek help and the process of socialization in boys<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/acsmmontreal.qc.ca\/news\/la-masculinite-toxique-un-obstacle-a-la-sante-mentale-des-hommes\u2009\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pierre L\u2019Heureux from Universit\u00e9 Laval<\/a>, the explanation lies in a phenomenon known as triple dissociation. Thus, boys learn from a very young age to:<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 Not care for their wounds or physical pain: <em>\u201cA boy doesn\u2019t cry if he gets hurt.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\n\ud83d\udc49 Neglect and play down their psychological difficulties: <em>\u201cA real boy doesn\u2019t complain, he takes his problems on the chin.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\n\ud83d\udc49 Not be too sensitive or get too close to others. This restriction has long been linked to homophobic prejudices where people quickly became wary of men who seemed to be too close to other men.

Focused on a public education approach, the program consists of <strong>equipping young people with the tools they need to combat the negative effects of phenomenons such as hypersexualization and toxic masculinity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Through a collection of fun activities, the \u201cProjet Gars\u201d program seeks to encourage boys to develop healthy relationships with themselves and others, all while encouraging active listening, creativity and discussions on subjects such as <strong>positive masculinity, emotions, friendship, feminism, self-acceptance, inclusion, diversity and body image.<\/strong><\/p>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"fjet-module-container module-title-container module-without-overflow  bg-color module-bg-color-rosePale    \">\n            <div class=\"decoration-box desktop\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/fondationjeunesentete.tor1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2020\/07\/Group-650.svg')\"><\/div><div class=\"decoration-box mobile\" style=\"background-image: url('')\"><\/div>\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                <div class=\"col-12\">\n                    <div class=\"content-txt \">\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"content-vc\">\n                        [vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;]<div class=\"fjet-module-container module-image module-with-overflow matchHeight  \">\n    <!-- Image au centre dans le container en position BACK -->\n    <div class=\"container \">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12\">\n                <div class=\"img-container overflow-container\">\n                <div class=\"img-radius-8\">                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" class=\"img-fluid\">\n                <\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"fjet-module-container image-texte-module  \">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12\">\n    <div class=\"content-img\" >\n            <\/div>\n    <div class=\"content-txt\"  >\n                        <p><strong>At home, it\u2019s also possible for parents to act around their boys in a way that encourages them to express their emotions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, don\u2019t hesitate to set a good example by <strong>expressing your own feelings in front of them<\/strong> and showing them that you know how to <strong>ask for help<\/strong> (from a friend, your partner, your family, your doctor, etc.) when you experience emotional difficulties, especially if you\u2019re a man.<\/p>\n<p>In day-to-day life, remember to ask your children how their day went, and to express and name their emotions.
