Listen "EP 3: Man Up vs Calm Down"
Episode Synopsis
Episode Discussion Points: Why are male suicide rates in the UK and Ireland considerably higher than women? Does the language we use in our culture impact people’s ability to open up? How can we respond to friends approaching us when feeling down? Or can we? The positive influence of letting your loved ones know you are thinking of them. Gender expectations placed on men and women from a young age. Why do certain people wait till they have a breakdown before they reach out? Are memes, tagged posts, likes and comments our new form of communication? *FYI* I am not a qualified therapist or psychologist, but I have a degree in psychological studies. This podcast episode is based on my own life experience and research.
