The failure of health promotion for marginalised populations.

The failure of health promotion for marginalised populations.

The paper discusses the impact of colonization on men's mental health, particularly Indigenous men in settler colonial countries. It highlights how colonization drives silence and inequities in mental health outcomes.

The authors emphasize the need for culturally informed approaches and decolonizing mental health practices to address intergenerational trauma, loss of culture, and systemic racism. These factors contribute to higher suicide rates and poorer mental health among Indigenous men. The paper calls for the recognition and integration of Indigenous understandings of health to advance equity in men's mental health​
