EP 3: MAN UP vs CALM DOWN

Episode Discussion Points:

  • Why are male suicide rates in the UK and Ireland considerably higher than women?
  • Does the language we use in our culture impact people’s ability to open up?
  • How can we respond to friends approaching us when feeling down? Or can we?
  • The positive influence of letting your loved ones know you are thinking of them.
  • Gender expectations placed on men and women from a young age.
  • Why do certain people wait till they have a breakdown before they reach out?
  • Are memes, tagged posts, likes and comments our new form of communication?

*FYI* I am not a qualified therapist or psychologist, but I have a degree in psychological studies. This podcast episode is based on my own life experience and research.
