While mental health awareness is on the rise, men often face unique hurdles. Traditional masculinity can discourage open communication about emotions, leading to missed diagnoses and untreated conditions.
Men might experience depression, anxiety, or stress differently, masking them with anger, irritability, or substance abuse. Dismantling the stigma around seeking help is crucial. Here's What's Your Motive Podcast tackling men's mental health and its impact on community well-being.
The conversation opens with Holloway advisors at MATC, who will discuss their impactful work in raising awareness about mental health and fostering open discussions within their community. Harry Evans, founder of the grassroots organization Heel Black Man, will offer a powerful perspective by sharing his journey with depression and the inspiration behind his organization.
Kyle Hayden, a student service specialist at MATC with a marriage and family therapy background, will bring a valuable perspective on the intersection of mental health and relationships. Leonce Allen, a dedicated community advocate with lived experience in mental health struggles, will round out the panel.
The conversation will go beyond personal stories. We'll explore key aspects of men's mental health, including overcoming the societal pressures of hyper-masculinity that often prevent men from seeking help. The panel will discuss the importance of open communication and dismantling the barriers that keep men from prioritizing their well-being.
We'll also delve into the challenges Black men specifically face in accessing mental health resources. The conversation will address systemic issues and brainstorm ways to create a more inclusive and supportive network for men of colour. Highlighting initiatives like Lee's men's call groups and Mr. Evans' organization, the episode will showcase the power of creating safe spaces where men can feel comfortable discussing their mental health struggles.
Whether you're a professional seeking a deeper understanding of men's mental health or want to be a better support system for the men in your life, this episode is for you. This conversation is also relevant if you're interested in advocating for increased mental health resources, particularly for Black men in Milwaukee.
Join the What's Your Motive Podcast as we break down barriers and create a space where men can heal, thrive, and build a future where everyone embraces prioritizing mental well-being.
