Men's Mental Health Matters

The Official Be Better Podcast

Ep. 046. Men's Mental Health Matters
What if we told you that men make up 75-80% of all suicides, despite women being statistically more likely to experience mental health challenges? Join us as we celebrate our one-year podcast anniversary by shedding light on men's mental health - a topic often shrouded in societal stigmas. Hosts Jake Fine and Dustin Craig open up about their personal experiences and share eye-opening statistics that reveal the depth of the crisis. Dustin recounts a compelling story from his workplace in Canada, where mental health support is a priority, contrasting it with the American approach and highlighting a critical need for change.
Ever wondered why gender roles still confine us in the modern world? Our discussion takes a deep dive into the unseen pressures men face when stepping into traditionally female roles, and the slow but significant rise of women in infrastructure jobs. Personal stories and anecdotes bring these struggles to life, illustrating how ingrained societal expectations continue to shape our realities. We also explore the complex landscape of masculinity, touching on how men are often discouraged from showing vulnerability and why breaking this cycle is vital for mental health.
From the trials of pet ownership and generational differences in mental health attitudes to the profound impact of bullying and social media, our episode covers a wide range of relatable life experiences. We laugh, we empathize, and we challenge the status quo, all while encouraging our listeners to reach out with their stories and questions. This episode is not just a conversation; it’s a heartfelt call to action for greater awareness and support for mental health across all genders. Tune in for an engaging, thought-provoking, and ultimately uplifting dialogue that aims to foster a more understanding and supportive society for everyone.
