Friendship is an essential relationship for everyone, but men often devote less time and energy to it. This may be due to the fact that their career takes up a lot of space, or that their romantic relationship fulfills their emotional needs. However, male friendship is beneficial as it provides emotional support, plays a key role in preventing mental health issues, strengthens resilience and combats loneliness. Dr. Jennifer Russell, a psychologist at the MUHC, encourages men to take a proactive approach in maintaining and nurturing their friendships. CJAD
