Real Health Black Men

Episode 10. Victor Ingram: Strength Means Asking For Help


Listen Later

We'd love to hear from you

We trace Victor Ingram’s path from a tough Las Vegas childhood to the Marine Corps, a recall to war, and a second career as a mental health therapist serving veterans and civilians. We confront stigma, faith without action, and how coaching-style therapy helps men build real strength. We cover topics such as:
• Origins in a single‑parent home and early mentors
• Boot camp shock, identity, and belonging
• 9/11 recall, combat tours, and PTSD recovery
• Launching a social work practice serving veterans and civilians
• Military culture, stigma, and help‑seeking barriers
• Faith and action working together in healing
• Cultural norms, accountability, and breaking cycles
• Therapy as coaching, teaching, and accountability
• When to seek help and what a tune‑up looks like
• Three takeaways: checkups, support networks, self‑challenge
