Elevating the Role of Behavioral Health in Mens Health Across the Lifespan

Assess the varying clinical and social presentations of common psychiatric conditions in men, from adolescence through older adulthood, including how stigma and under-reporting influence diagnosis and care.

Identify appropriate screening tools (e.g., PHQ-9, GAD-7) and assessment strategies for detecting depression, anxiety, substance use, and trauma-related disorders in men across different life stages.

Apply evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and trust-building approaches to integrate behavioral health into mens health care to promote engagement and reduce disparities in outcomes.
