Dare to be bold and speak out
The stigma surrounding mental health is lessening, but men still face unique barriers that prevent them from seeking help. In an effort to avoid being perceived as weak or vulnerable, men have a tendency to bury their emotions deep within.
Based on Allan Kehler’s bestselling book MENtal Health: It’s Time to Talk, this podcast showcases men who have persevered through their own mental health challenges. Together, we put a voice to issues including masculinity, mental illness, addiction, sexual abuse, suicide, and ultimately wellness.
The relationship between men and mental health has often been referred to as a silent crisis. The silence has been broken and the time to talk is now.
