Abstract
The impacts of stigmas affect the mental health of individuals in a significant way, and Sikh men are a subcommunity of Sikhs that are highly influenced by stigma. This paper aims to conceptualize how stigmas impact the psychological state of middle-aged Sikh men to find a solution that will help this population receive the help they need. It was found that factors such as Cultural Context, Social Exclusion/ Social Networks, Gender Norms, Gender Differences, and Racism perpetuated stigmas for middle-aged Sikh men. The findings suggest how counselors can help middle-aged Sikh men complete counseling successfully. It is also essential to consider incorporating spirituality into counseling, personal cultural competence, gender norms, confidentiality, and world events to aid in successful therapy.
