Though it originated in the 1980's, toxic masculinity has risen in popularity in the past decade and with its resurgence comes some tension.

No, not all men are terrible, and yes, there are plenty of examples of positive masculinity in the world, but toxic masculinity is something that has become more prevalent today and should be addressed as much as the latter. On today's episode, Eric and Brad peel back some of the layers of toxic masculinity with Licensed Professional Counselor and LGBTQ advocate, Matt Hedding-Hess.

Towards the end of the show, Matt, Eric, and Brad discuss an incredibly important mental health referendum in Kankakee County up for vote on April 4th that, if passed, could lead to opportunities for Kankakee County to assist and grow their mental health provider efforts and much more.
