Supervisor, HR leader, faith leader, commanding officer, community organizer: the rooms you run steer who gets to ask for help, how mistakes get handled, and whether a man can say he's struggling without it costing him.
We pulled the report's chapters on loneliness, workplaces, and policy into a free Leader Toolkit: a "map your connection infrastructure" exercise plus reflection prompts for the rooms you hold.
