Part 3/12:
A striking point raised is the absence of discourse surrounding men's mental health. The speaker highlights that Men's Mental Health Awareness Month often goes unnoticed unless it is tied to tragedy or a joke. Women, often spearheading advocacy in this realm, are stepping up to fill the void. One woman, Haley, identifies as a 'boy mama' and advocates for bringing awareness to the daily struggles men encounter—pressures to provide, protect, and lead—and how these are marginalized in the broader societal conversation.
