We talk about mental health more openly today than ever before — and yet suicide remains one of the biggest killers of men. If talking was enough, wouldn’t things be getting better? The truth is, something about the current approach isn’t working for men.

If you’re a mother, partner, daughter, sister, friend, or colleague worried about a man in your life, this book is for you.

With compassion and clarity, TEDx Speaker Ryan Parke combines years of real-world experience, relatable case studies, and hundreds of sources to explain what truly impacts the men we care about.

• The surprising role of hormones, especially testosterone, in men’s wellbeing

• The key signs of stress you need to know about

Blending science, stories, and simple strategies, this book makes complex ideas accessible and deeply human. If you want to support the man you care about in ways that go further than words alone, How To Help Him is the practical and hopeful guide you have been looking for.
