Intervention 2

 For this second intervention my main focus was the silent men keep towards being vulnerable, and not seeking helping in order to keep their "masculine pride" or just by the mere fact that they being teach to never actually show their emotions in front of anyone and just bottle them up.

 Here is a poster I made from some art and image's.

 


Having this poster I made some questions to some friends about their mental health and how they felt talking about it. Many of them told me that there mental health was like a bottle, which they let get full first in order to talk about or they just keep bottle up until they have mental breakdowns. Many of them have different safe spaces where they forget or let their emotions show which gives them a time to breath and just enjoy their lives, which leads to a constant cycle of repetition.

some questions that I ask were; 
  • Do you feel like you have to keep this masculine side all the time ?
  • Can you tell when your about to have a mental breakdown? If yes how do you prepared for it?
  • Do you keep your feelings/emotions bottle up because of culture?
  • Have you created a safe space for yourself ? If so what is it?
