Susan Crooks lost her highly sensitive son, Walt, to suicide in 2019 and founded a non-profit in his memory to destigmatize mental healthcare, reduce suffering, and provide resources to further that mission through community outreach programs. It’s an incredible story of a mother’s love and tireless devotion on all our behalves to help those who may be suffering in silence, especially men.

Susan has been champion for HSPs and HSS/HSPs and is a poignant example of the simple act of caring for each other that we all need to embrace in these complex and challenging times. Sensitive Men Rising accepts the mission, along with Walt’s Waltz, of destigmatizing mental healthcare, reducing suffering, and being a resource and a link to avenues of caring.

Perfect timing for this to come out as Sensitive Men Rising is set for release on June 16th 2024 (Father’s Day)!!

Sensitive Men Rising is indeed a film that is designed to illuminate and illustrate the many facets of expressing our trait/s in the world as fathers, husbands, partners, and sons. The better we are able to support fathers in understanding their trait/s, if they happen to be highly sensitive or high sensation seeking or both, the less trauma our children will have to endure and suffer from over the course of their lifetimes.

Normalizing high sensitivity, in fact, all sensitivities because we know there are high, medium, and low sensitive groups, benefits everyone when we all work together cross-pollinating each other with our respective survival strategies like resilience, creativity, hardiness, and attunement to our environments.

Stay tuned for the registration link for Sensitive Men Rising where the film will be FREE to view for three days then available on a donation basis afterwards.
