The importance of mental wellbeing. My guest this week is Charlie Hoare, author of Man Down. Charlie and I explore all things MASK - whether that’s putting on a brave face or masking emotions to cope. We explore normalising the experience of mental health and how we can all work to create a society and culture that doesn't condition young boys (and men) into binary stereotypes. Charlie shares his own journey with mental health and what’s in his mental health toolkit.
