Claiming the lives of 528,000 boys’ and men each year, male suicide is a significant global health issue (1). Consistent with these worldwide patterns, Canadian male suicide rates have remained high over the last two decades (2) occurring at 3 times the rate of females (3). Despite this longstanding issue, men’s experiences of suicidality and pathways to suicide are poorly understood (4) amid widespread failures to sustain men’s community-based suicide prevention programs or implement gender-sensitized professional mental health care services (5).
