Our guest to weather the Hurt Locker this week is Dan Flanagan, founder of Dad La Soul, an organisation orchestrating a revolution in the way that dads struggles are seen, heard and supported in the UK.

As Dan, opens the door on his mental health experiences with Yinka, he shares several stories on the family events that impacted his mental health experiences: his parent's divorce, being the youngest boy in a family of older sisters, the struggles his own father faced as a single parent and how these reflections ultimately led him to establishing Dad La Soul in 2016, as it continues to grow from strength to strength.

*TRIGGER WARNING* This uncensored conversation includes references to mental health issues.

If you are experiencing mental health issues please do reach out for help - phone 999 for an emergency or if you would like to speak to someone call The Samaritans on 116 123
