Men Tell Health is a series on the Jim Richards Showgram where men talk about mental health issues that affect them. 

When Mark Henick was a teenager in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, he was overwhelmed by depression and anxiety that led to a series of increasingly dangerous suicide attempts. One night, he climbed onto a bridge over an overpass and stood in the wind, clinging to a girder. Someone shouted, “Jump, you coward!” Another man, a stranger in a brown coat, talked to him quietly, calmly and with deep empathy. Just as Henick’s feet touched open air, the man in the brown coat encircled his chest and pulled him to safety. This near-death experience changed Henick’s life forever.

Informed by his direct experience with stigma and the mental health care system, Mark Henick dedicated his life from an early age to opening minds and creating change.

Mark is the principal and CEO of Strategic Mental Health Solutions, a boutique consulting firm that specializes in helping organizations and individuals to move strategically from basic mental health awareness toward meaningful, measurable action.

Making Mistakes - Jim tells a story of how he once called Tom Cruise, Tim Cruise, and everyone flipped out! On another note, Avery Haines accidentally calls Jim, "John" at the end of an interview and Jim wants to know why?

Armageddon - There is a comet hurtling through space towards earth and Jim is putting a team together to fly to space and blow it up before it hits earth and kills all of humanity.

How do you say Uranus? Some teachers in the US are now saying it different because well there are too many inappropriate jokes made with the original pronunciation. The Showgram takes calls on how you say it! 

Oakland Raiders coach, John Gruden resigns because of sexist, racist and homophobic comments found in his emails.

Jim Muses the news; including a story about unsafe water in Nunavit. Yes this is still happening in Canada.
Food in the washroom - The Showgram is joined by David Cooper who tells a story about a friend who brought leftover pizza that they were taking home with them; to the bathroom before they left the party. That opens up a poll on whether it is okay to bring food to the bathroom.

Have you ever met a celebrity and didn't know it? David has bummed smokes from what he thought was a short doppleganger of Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) of Game of Thrones. Turns out it was actually him. Jim has a few stories of his own.

David Cooper tells a story of his trip to Sweden and his friend orders champagne for some ladies at a restaurant. Listen to hear what happens next! Almost as good as the Roses Jim like to send to patrons at sports bars.

The Big Question of the Day; What inspired you when you were young and what did you want grow up to be. Both Jim and David have some good stories.
