Father’s Day Reminder: You Don’t Have to Carry It All Alone

Father’s Day brings a lot of things—cookouts, cards, maybe a few gifts. But if we’re honest, it can also bring a quiet pressure. The pressure to be strong. To keep it together. To provide, protect, and perform—even when you’re running on empty.

Most men aren’t walking around saying, “I’m depressed.”They’re saying things like:

• “I’m just tired.”

• “I’ve got too much going on.”

• “I’m fine.”

  
  

Here’s the thing: You don’t need to hit rock bottom before you take care of yourself. You don’t need to be in crisis to deserve support. You’re allowed to feel off. You’re allowed to want more than just getting by.

The Mental Load of Modern Fatherhood

Being a dad today comes with more layers than ever before. You’re not just a provider. You’re expected to be present, patient, emotionally tuned-in, and on your game—all while holding it together at work, at home, and in your own head.

That’s a lot. And yet most men still feel like they have to shoulder it silently. Here are the facts:

• 1 in 4 men will experience a mental health challenge this year.

• Men are less likely to seek support, but more likely to struggle in silence.

• Suicide rates are highest among men, especially in states like Utah.

  
  

We can’t afford to keep ignoring the cost of "handling it."

You Can’t Pour From an Empty Cup

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It’s essential.When you’re burned out, shut down, or constantly irritable, your family feels it. Your partner, your kids, your work—it all takes the hit.

But when you invest in your own mental health, things shift. You’re more patient. More present. You stop just reacting to life and start engaging with it again.

And here’s the truth most men were never taught: You don’t have to fix it all on your own.
