In the light of Movember (a movement that aims to raise awareness about men's health, including mental health and suicide prevention) and international men's day (did you know about that?), this is a special, vulnerable, and essential episode about men's mental health.
In this episode, Lina talks to Shey Crompton - a Senior Quality Manager at easyJet and the managing director of the St. Neots Man Cave in the UK - a men's mental health charity. Lina and Shey explore the concept of Movember, the societal expectations placed on men, and much more. Tune in to learn more about the importance of breaking down the stigma surrounding men's mental health, how to recognize when someone is struggling with their mental health and how to be a better ally.
