Robert Cunningham writes "It is necessary for our culture to repudiate the deficit perspective on what it means to be male. Boys and men are not deficient simply by being male. Unless we address this negative understanding of the value of men and boys, which is largely accepted by our society, we cannot make inroads into reducing the high rates of suicide among men and boys. The following PDF document is a good attempt to promote a positive approach to the health and well-being of boys and men."
