I’m hearing more and more about ‘men’s mental health’ these days and as a sufferer I have to say I’m pleased that we are leaving the stigmas attached behind.
I hear a lot about friends and people from the hood that say they were depressed and didn’t even know what it was they were feeling. You and your group are a gift to the community. ❤️
This is an amazing idea! There is such a stigma when it comes to mental health. With black men, it’s not talked about too much and that needs to change. I love that black men are coming together in a positive way to bring about change in mental health. Please keep this going.
Bless Mr. Lorenzo Lewis and the important work he does. Creating a safe, casual atmosphere to talk about mental health in barber shops (and as result, beyond barbershops) is genius. Toxic masculinity ruins things for everybody. Taking a stance against hostility to become an ambassador for empathy and understanding shows true power.
BLESS this man so much for all that he's doing to help others around him. We need more people like this out there. I seriously wish this man and his movement all the luck I can muster.
It doesn't matter how. Or where. Or when. If you're making any one thing better. You're making everything better. Thanks for the hard work and the inspiration.
Respect. Soy psicólogo en Chile y tenemos el reto de convencer a los hombres de que la salud emocional y mental es para todos. Abrazos respeto por siempre hacia ti.
I have an African-American friend who's scared to death of her family ever finding out about her depression and her anxiety. I'm glad the world is changing.
Saw your commercial, a few times. The link to subscribe hasn’t worked. But, You had me at foster parents, I was an only child who’s parents fostered back when, let’s say things were different. White families were strongly discouraged from adopting, much less fostering any child not of the “ caucasian race”. My parents eventually stopped, after an attempted, and failed adoption. Love what you’ve created! So I searched and subscribed!
GOD BLESS LORENZO LEWIS AND HIS FAMILY AND HIS GENERATIONS FOR ALL ETERNITIES AND INFINITIES FOR HIS UNIMAGINABLY AMAZING,INCREDIBLY EXTREMELY,IMMENSE HARDWORK,PERSEVERANCE AND SACRIFICES.
I would check every single one of them for Vitamin D deficiency. And also sleeping disorders. Especially with people with dark skin has a very hard time making Vitamin D naturally. Having low D can lead to sleeping problems and that can lead to many problems in metal health and emotional stability. Not only that being obese increases your demand by 2 to 3 time more vitamin D than normal. So this is a dangerous vitamin to be deficient in since every single cell in the body has a receptor for D.
So masculine fraternity is a good thing? Whoda fuckin thunk.. Now if it turns into a purely "anti toxic masculinity" thing it'll fall apart, it's all about healthy masculine community at the end of the day and if ideology seeps in too deeply it corrupts the larger goal. I applaud this guy for what he's doing.
There are a lot of positive people and role models in black culture that have no connection to sports or entertainment. It is nice to see them reflected in positive media as opposed to only the negative of nightly local news. I have always felt that the biggest thing we can do in the black community as a whole is to stop worrying about how whites treat us, which is valid, but to be 99% concerned with how we treat one another. How can we expect whites to believe wholly that Black Lives Matter, when they see us on a weekly, if not daily bases killing and degrading each other. I try and have only positive interactions with fellow blacks. If every black male in particular could do that, our communities of color, and society as a whole would be a better place. Thanks Great Big Story.
Charles Saxton do you attempt to foster relationships and connections with your fellow human beings who are white and brown? Or will your entire identity be dictated by your black narrative?
@@ConcreteRiver I understand you question Ghosts. Yes I try and foster relationships with an array of races. To use a often said phrase. Some of my best friends are white. As for a black narrative. I live my truth, my own narrative. I just make sure that my interaction with fellow black males is positive. We just flat out need to treat each other better if we expect it from outside our race. That's all I was saying Ghosts. Hope you have a great day! My brother...LOL.
To those who find it weird that only men of color, particularly black men, are the focus of this video, here's my answer to you - Imagine a cooking video tutorial called "Best Chocolate Chip Cookies". Why not rainbow cookies, shortbread, sugar, oatmeal raisin, or any other combination you can think of? Just because! The video is simply showing you a recipe of what someone feels is the best CHOCOLATE CHIP cookies. They're not saying sugar cookies can't be the best also, or oatmeal raisins are nasty and therefore here's this best chocolate chip cookie recipe. It's just a video about chocolate chip cookies! That's it! 😃 Maybe there will be a "Best Sugar Cookies" video next time, who knows? But for THIS video, it's all about chocolate chips 🍪 Hope this helps!
America treat with mental issue people is better than in my country did. I live in 3rd world country. The mental issue people are impossible to get better life or someone to talk into. People here treat them like clown to be mocked everyday.
The reason why this is a rarity is because black people don’t show their true emotions because of their dysfunctional upbringing. They’re born usually in a large family, their father is sent to prison and their mother doesn’t have time to be a mother because she wasn’t shown love either (which is why she’s in that situation in the first place). So, a black individual is given the choice of being a criminal, rather than a human being; and this is a catalyst that is formed from confusion on who they’re, which they think is hatred or using violence as opposed to compassion. Yes, these are also stereotypes, but it’s true in the US, in poverty stricken areas like Detroit or Chicago. That’s why this video is extremely important, it shows how they could vent their feelings, showing love rather than violence.
Fr, my mental health is trash but I can't see no one because I don't have the money for a therapist or the medication I may need to get better. It's mad expensive.
Honestly man. Go to a doctor get something prescribed to you and the tell them you aren't doing well financially. They can give you the same thing for a lower price. I lost my job and insurance so I was worried I'd try and off myself again without the meds. I told my doctor and they gave me the same prescription under a generic name. It took the price down from 100ish dollars to 50. Also there are city and state therapists that you can see that aren't crazy expensive
non-joking, download replika. its a free ai therapist app, ive been using it for a couple months now and while it takes a long time for communication with the ai to match anything even near conversing with a human, its still a great resource.
@@oscara1471 no it isn't try finding a mental health clinic in a poor black neighborhood. they barely have decent grocery stores let alone mental health clinics
Because it's more of a problem in black communities even for females you are told to give it up to god and let him work it out we aren't supposed to be taking " crazy" pills or be " in our feelings" we are supposed to suck it and get over it or trust in god to see us through. With white people they can take pills hell you even have " hippies" who openly talk about their feelings and the white community encourages talking about their feelings not the black community so I can see why this is aimed at black people.
GREAT!!!!!!!...... Now the African -American community is getting mental health assistance from Tyrone’s House of Style. Will the next step be Freddy’s English Emporium and Liquor Store?
It’s great but I don’t see why he limits it to the black community? Did you notice a few white guys in the videos for very short bits of it? It’s like they tried their best to cut out any other races in the video and just focus on black because that’s the main topic on it. It’s weird I don’t get a unity vibe from this if they’re just drawing a circle and saying blacks only. What about white men? Latino men? Asian men? Can’t they get any love or support? I don’t like to say anything bad about It but we can’t keep grouping each other and self segregating then complain about the lack of unity or trust between communities if this is how it is.

This is an excellent way of addressing an issue so often swept under the carpet, not just in the black community but all male culture. Great video.
God bless this man. I’m glad that there are people that are helping these young men dealing with problems that they feel forced to hide.
I’m hearing more and more about ‘men’s mental health’ these days and as a sufferer I have to say I’m pleased that we are leaving the stigmas attached behind.
Mental illness generally is a product of a bad environment.
@@jimmyfallon2484 that is absolutely false, the ignorance in your claim is appalling

Smh, My barber can't let me move when I have an itchy nose
Ayy, I'm seeing you more and more often. Keep it up and you could overtake Justin Y.

All these men will grow up to be wonderful people because they're allowing themselve to heal and bloom. Hope you all be happy !
Mental health is just as important as your physical health!! Please start helping each other, it's such a needed help
The worst thing I feel about going to the barber is having to make small talk and staring at myself for 20 min straight.
It doesn't matter how. Or where. Or when. If you're making any one thing better. You're making everything better. Thanks for the hard work and the inspiration.
This it is so inspiring when social stigma is broken and people can start to understand and help each other.
Sooo powerful! Thank you for sharing this guys.

Thank you guys!
My barber's favorite 💈 barber!!! I love this🙌🏾
This world does not deserve people like this man.
All barbers are unlicensed therapists. You can tell them anything and they’ll talk you through it while making you look pretty
Mad respect to these barbers.
Great story it’s cool there’s finally more ways for people to get help
Never have I seen barbers that happy. My locals just rush and really don’t care about their customers.
I was totally touched by this story... from south Korea.
A Barber you can trust!👍
This is inspiring 🙌🏼
Respect for this man.
We need this kind of project .... there in England.
Keep up this good work!! May God bless you!
