This serves as a reminder that even those who appear well-composed may face significant internal challenges.

The announcement encourages individuals to explore available mental health resources and emphasizes the importance of checking in on loved ones. Listed resources include NAMI for mental health support, HeadsUpGuys which offers global assistance specifically for men's mental health, and its Self Check Suite for personal evaluation. Other mentioned organizations are Thresholds, Chicago Psychiatry Associates, Coffee Hip Hop & Mental Health, The Kennedy Forum, and Sister Alya.
