Stress is a universal emotion that everyone experiences at one point or another in their lives. It is a normal physiological response to a perceived threat or demand. When we feel stressed, our bodies prepare us to either fight or take flight by releasing hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. This can lead to physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, and heightened senses. While a little bit of stress can be beneficial as it can help us to perform under pressure, too much stress can have negative effects on our health. Chronic stress can lead to problems such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, gastrointestinal issues, and cardiovascular disease. There are a number of things that society can do to help alleviate stress.
For example, employers can provide support to employees who are struggling to cope with work-related stress. This could include offering flexible working arrangements, access to mental health support, and training in stress management techniques. Individuals can also take steps to manage stress in a healthy way. This could involve exercise, relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation, and talking to friends and family about what is causing you stress. If you are struggling to cope with stress, it is important to seek help from a mental health professional.

Many men won't go to the doctors for mental help unless their wives or girlfriends make an appointment to schedule it. This shows that society needs to do a better job at taking most of the stigmas and pressures off of men to realize that their bodies and mental health wellness are just as important as anybody else's. Men need to understand this as some form of self-love, and self-care.
Join the conversation with Jillian Henderson as we talk about everything about men’s mental wellness. Jillian is a licensed clinical social worker in mental health every day. She is also a licensed addiction counselor, holding a mental health professional counseling credential in the state of Montana. She currently works for Western Montana Mental Health Center, the largest agency that provides Community Mental Health to people in northwestern Montana. Her role there is a clinical supervisor, having worked in this field since 2009. Let’s grow our men stronger together.

The stress and anxiety that come with a traumatic event can be overwhelming. The pain of the event can linger for years, even decades, and this is why it’s important to take time to heal and move on from the pain. The key to getting over these traumatic experiences is to embrace your own strength and power. This means being open-minded about what you want in life, living your life with passion and enthusiasm, and working towards achieving your goals. Do not try to avoid your trauma or forget it because doing so will only worsen it. Releasing the burden of past experiences through talking about them with friends, family, or a therapist is also a good idea. Learn more about how you can get help by tuning in to this episode where Eoj Johnston and Sherlyn Perryman join us.
Sherlyn is an Administrative Assistant at The Miracles Club, a community recovery center. Though her roots are in Louisiana, she has spent a great amount of time in Portland. Her passion for helping others drives her to feed the homeless and volunteer at various organizations. Evangelism, Sunday school teacher, youth director, praise, and worship leader are some of the areas she has participated in her local Church. She is also an Alumni of Warner Pacific University, where she plans to receive her master's degree in the near future.
Eoj Johnson, the operation manager of Miracle Club. Johnson was previously working for Central City concern, Golden West HRR program (Housing Rapid Response). At Miracle Club, he works as a supervisor over mentors who deal with people struggling with addiction. They have a recovery house, and it houses eight men and one house manager.

There are a lot of factors that can impact a father's ability to connect with their children, but one of the most common is penitentiary. Most fathers, when they get imprisoned, they’re denied the opportunity to bond with their children. This can result in children going to the streets or becoming rebellious towards their mother as they try to fill in for their absent father. Fathers are key figures in the lives of their children, and it is important for them to be fully involved and visible in their children’s lives.

Since the beginning of time, men have been taught to be stoic, stay silent, and not express their emotions. In order to balance this out, women are also taught that it is natural for them to talk about their feelings and share their thoughts. The hope is that this would lead both sexes toward a better understanding of one another. However, this has not been the case in reality.
Join the conversation with men as they share factors driving them to stay closed off, the benefits they would enjoy for opening up, and tips of when you need to open up as a man. It's time for a conversation that society needs to have with men about how talking about our feelings can give us an edge in relationships and careers.

The issue of men’s mental health is a big concern, and it is seen as a major cause of the current suicide rate. Men generally have less support and less empathy than women. This makes them more prone to negative emotions, double standards of life, and they are more likely to commit suicide, especially in our society where they are not allowed to express their feelings. No gentleman was to feel screwed up and to stay within the societal expectation; most are locked up in their emotional trauma and suffering in silence. They need help to let go and heal.
Join the conversation with Vincent Osborne as he shares his life up and down, transition, and how he got into poetry in the ‘Let’s Drop Suicide Rate’ Space. Vincent is an author and a poet. He works with The Lost Poets, a poetic group of worldwide writers whose mission is to shine a light on topics that affect humanity on a wide scale.

Everyone needs to stop and reflect on the consequences of the decisions they have made in the past. This is important since it helps you to stay focused and stop making mistakes. There are many tools that you can use to reflect on your decision before taking action. Some of these tools involve meditating, journaling, or reflecting on your life decisions.
Join me, Nickole Brewster, as we celebrate one year in service helping our men in society. In this short episode, I will share some of our achievements, lessons learned, and milestones.
