Mental health resources for men in Germany
Psychologist Katharina Piekorz notes that men often face difficulties seeking help for mental health burdens such as exhaustion, depression, or loneliness. Effective support requires finding assistance that fits an individual's lifestyle and is approached with personal initiative.
Available resources include specialized counseling centers for men, low-threshold options like telephone counseling (Telefonseelsorge), and church-based men's groups. The national portal 'maennerberatungsnetz.de', operated by the Bundesforum Männer, provides an overview of various counseling services. Additionally, general practitioners can serve as initial points of contact.
To ensure discretion, many services offer anonymous support via telephone, email, chat, or video calls without cameras. Piekorz emphasizes the importance of finding a professional with whom the individual feels a good interpersonal connection and is treated as an equal. Friends and relatives can also assist by calmly and concretely addressing observed changes in behavior.
