Today marks Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.

On June 19, 1865, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Since that time, Juneteenth has become a day of celebration and remembrance in African American communities throughout the country.

Men’s mental health matters and conversations about it can save lives. Too many men continue to face mental health challenges in silence due to stigma, societal expectations and outdated ideas about what it means to be “masculine.” This June, in honor of Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the importance of recognizing the signs of poor mental health and creating spaces where men feel supported in seeking help.

Read our latest blog post to learn more about the challenges men face, how we can change the stigma surrounding mental health and how we can better support the men in our lives: https://bit.ly/4gr3hGr

Pride Month is a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, but also to recognize the reality that LGBTQ+ individuals continue to be disproportionately impacted by targeted violence and hate. Behind these statistics are real people, communities, and lives forever changed. Creating safer spaces begins with valuing one another, showing up for our community and refusing to stay silent in the face of harm. This month, we honor those we’ve lost, stand with those affected by violence, and recommit ourselves to protecting and supporting the LGBTQ+ community every day.

If you need support or would like to report a concern related to violence against the LGBTQ+ community, please visit the links in our bio or connect with NC State LGBTQ Pride Center.
