Episode 79: Men's Mental Health Month

About this episode

<p>It&#39;s Men&#39;s Mental Health Month and I wanted to talk about a few things that we may not know about this month. Did you know that 1 in 8 men will experience depression in their life? I&#39;m definitely the 1 in my group of folks. Men are also 2-3 times more likely to misuse drugs and alcohol. </p><p><br></p><p>You don&#39;t have to deal with on your own, fellas. Talk to your support system, or you can join some of these events happening this month:</p><p><br></p><p>My virtual men&#39;s group is meeting Thursday, 6/11/26, from 8-9pm EST.
