Abstract

It is the purpose of this paper to provide an overview of the problems faced by rural men and the challenges faced by those mental health professionals seeking to prevent and intervene in the mental health problems of rural men. To be discussed is the fact that men, in general, and rural men, in particular, are greatly affected by their gender role socialization which influences both their life styles and their attitudes and behavior in seeking needed mental health assistance.
