Social constructs and men’s mental health. Where do we even begin with this one? One of the major barriers when it comes to men’s mental health in most cases is how society has programmed them to think about some of the things that affect their well-being. While in m most cases we speak about how society does not allow safe spaces for men to express their feelings and their emotions about certain things, this same society has also caused men to normalize some of the things that are detrimental to their mental and physical well-being. Dr. Katanta Simwanza, a public health specialist, an advocate for men’s well-being and men’s mental health, as well as a trainer and specialist on sexual reproductive health, joins Michael and Nadia in this episode to unpack how social constructs have shaped modern men and how that is impacting their lives. He shares how the simple life choices that we fail to make now and follow through now, end up affecting and impacting our lives in ways that we can’t even imagine.
