EP110 - What is it going to take for more people to become aware of, accept, and act on the fact that men's mental health is a societal pandemic, not simply a challenge men face by themselves and need to solve by themselves?
This concludes the 6-part Men's Mental Health Awareness Month podcast series, and I could not have asked for three better guests to help me bring it home.
George (aka @thetinmen), a filmmaker and men's and boy's advocate who first appeared on EP084, Susie Bennett, PhD researcher exploring male suicide at Suicidal Behaviour Research Lab at the University of Glasgow who first appeared on EP086, and Blake Rivers, a biomechanics researcher at Kingston University who will be making his solo debut on EP111.
This was the first episode I was ever brought to tears, and pretty much all four of us had to fight them back at some point as we discussed a topic that unfortunately can't be openly discussed without receiving ample negative kickback from some people who simply believe that men aren't worthy of help, compassion, and the same level of sympathy and support as the rest of the world.
Here are just a few of the incredible questions we will be addressing today:
👉🏾 If awareness is always the first step towards transformation, how can a man start to become aware of his mental and emotional levels of well-being so that he doesn’t become another sad statistic?
👉🏾 What is the emotional Tank of Pain and how does it influence our mental health?
👉🏾 How will becoming the researcher of your own life be a life-saving skill every man should develop?
👉🏾 Can success and a hardcore dedication to your craft be a warning sign for beneath-the-surface depression?
👉🏾 What are the symptoms you can be on the lookout for so you can spot mental health issues when they arise?
👉🏾 Why there is no before and after in both transforming your physical and mental health so stop fucking looking at it like that
👉🏾 Why do certain sectors of society and government vehemently refute the idea of men’s groups, ministers for men, and anything to do with lending support to men and boys?
👉🏾 What is the difference between loneliness and being alone, and what is the fundamental component that keeps those who feel loneliness from reaching out?
👉🏾 What are the laws we need to change if we are to change the stigma around men’s mental health, rape, and the core challenges facing men today?
👉🏾 Why should everyone strive to be an imposter?
