Men have emotional needs and concerns just like women do, but society has placed different expectations on them which places pressure on them to fit into certain types of stereotypes. They may not have the network of support systems available to them to assist them through life's challenges which also contributes to them having difficulty seeking assistance. Such unrealistic expectations can contribute to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, unresolved grief, striving for unrealistic perfection, etc., all of which can take a physical and emotional toll on them and their partners. Life balance difficulties can also challenge resources and contribute to confusion as they try to regain their sense of equilibrium. Such challenges can lead to a lack of self-care and self-respect, and reduced assertiveness skills. Monica Ferkin provides men the opportunity to recognize their inner strength and value, as well as how to cope with the challenges that are unique to them.
