Depression is no less real than any other health issue, like diabetes or high blood pressure. It’s not in our heads and it doesn’t mean we are weak – it’s a very real illness that affects many aspects of our lives (mood, energy, relationships, concentration, etc.) and is experienced by millions of people of all ages, backgrounds, and circumstances.
Depression can affect anyone, regardless of how strong or resilient we believe ourselves to be. That’s why it’s crucial to be able to recognize the symptoms early and take steps to combat it.
Untreated depression is a leading factor in deaths by suicide, of which men account for 75-80%.[1-5] Yet, with the right support and treatment, we know recovery is not only possible but achievable.
"I knew something was off with my stress and mood, but I couldn’t sort it out. I wish I had known I was dealing with depression sooner. I waited to hit rock bottom before reaching out. I hope other guys don’t make the same mistakes.” – Age 28, Canada

We must give good men the risk-free space they need to break their silence and heal.
The darkness of depression and plans for suicide led to transformative healing that inspired a step into the light and take up the cause to normalize the narrative for men's mental health.
Men keep their childhood trauma a secret for an average of 24 years. In fact, men you perceive to be, or are, in fact, successful such as
leaders in business, sports, entertainment and our communities suffer in silence.
The emotions that define us and the patterns that limit us are embedded by negative events in our lives that create a trauma effect and must be released before we can heal.
Secrets of childhood abuse are often kept by men into their 50's.
The entire time their silence defined personal and professional actions, decisions and relationships. Once a secret becomes your story, it enables you to heal and realize your UNLimited WORTH.
The effects of our trauma responses are non-conscious and persistent.
Only through treatment can awareness and healing possible.
With professionals and techniques, such as EMDR, therapy can prove to be a life saver.
The effects are profound.
To reach millions of men with this important message, we must address all aspects to encourage men to speak up and seek help.

UNLimited WORTH
Mike's experience started this movement
"I put suicide on the top of my "to do list" during my 51st year.
That moment and the days and weeks that followed were the darkest of my life.
The emotions that defined me and the patterns that limited me,
washed over my life like a tidal wave.
Death was a viable option.
But healing was too.
I reached out for help to save my life."
Men you might know, suffer silently with hidden secrets of childhood trauma. On average it takes 24 years for them to reveal their secret.
Mike endured decades of secrecy, skillfully hiding his secret that defined everything,
living with feelings of shame, guilt, fear, lack of worth, self-doubt, sadness and anger.
Men with childhood trauma live below their potential.
Limited by our past and inability to deal with it.
Our silence makes us feel worthless.
We are fallible, have made mistakes and many missteps along the way.
We have been injured and traumatized in our lives as children,
and are doing our best as men.
Our goal is to become good men.
Men who act with purpose,
live honorably and intentionally.
Other men and our families can rely on us.
We are vulnerable and authentic.
It is necessary to reach our breaking point to heal.
We simply need the support and openness of other men.
We need to feel safe. That we will be ok, when we break our silence.
Healing doesn't need to start when
we hit rock bottom of addiction, or suffer depression or mental illness. It doesn't have to be accompanied by loss of: business, relationships &/or health.
If we seek help. Important, professional help.
Before it is too late.
We can began our healing.
Here's the amazing thing!
The day our secrets are no longer and our healing begins, the universe opened up, our lives become instantly better and the opportunities we always dreamed of finally begin to reveal themselves.
Our relationships improve and our outlook will too, as we believe our value and understand our worth in the world. The self-imposed limits were gone.
But that alone does not make you a "GOOD MAN".
Good men support other men. They teach and guide and mentor them.
They give community.
More importantly they give trust and love without conditions.
Help me make a cosmic ripple.
I've got a story to tell and it will change the lives of men, their families and generations to follow.
It is the story of
UNLIMITED WORTH."
