November is Men's Mental Health Month. This is important because 1. Men die by suicide 3.5x the rate of women. 2. about 60% of men are likely to experience trauma in their lifetime. 3. 1 in 10 men experience major depression. 4. 50% of men are too afraid to seek help.
Tonight's guest, Jonathan Jackson and I sit down to discuss everyday life experiences and how to navigate with mental health concerns in a way that is supportive and understanding. How to be an ally and how to speak up and ask for help, understanding you aren't alone and it is okay to say "I need help".
In 2017 Jonathan Jackson, a management consultant, and graduate student decided that there was a void in the digital world for millennials. So he founded The Wkender - a lifestyle brand dedicated to creating a road map for millennials thriving in their passions, while navigating multiple venues in-style. His goal is to empower you to challenge norms, change your reality, and thrive from 5-9!
