From an OWH mailing-list email sent on 19 Nov 2013:

'Now is your opportunity to order the remaining copies of the Office on Women’s Health’s consumer mental health publication, Women’s Mental Health: What It Means To You. This 22-page booklet can help you talk to women about mental health — it addresses stigma, discusses mental health throughout the lifespan, offers information about signs and symptoms, and provides advice on prevention and coping mechanisms.

We are looking for organizations that can order bulk quantities — for FREE — and disseminate this important resource to women. To order the booklet, call the OWH Helpline at 1-800-994-9662 or use our online order form.

... that discuss men's mental health, but these are on general interest sites, such as nimh.nih.gov. Curiously, they can also be found on womenshealth.gov, too. Just Google "US dept of health men's mental health" to see the results.

That's true, Matt, but notice that the womenshealth.gov site only devotes a page to men's health. Whereas, they devote an entire site to women's health. Also, that page seems more directed to women, than to men.

Kind of "damning with faint praise", a pre-emptive defense point for accusations that men's health issues are being ignored by the operators. And of course, they can also always point to the NIMH site -- limited as it is.
