#242 TURNing it up with Gurjeet on Wellbeing Wednesday: Men's Mental Health & November Reflections

Well-Being Wednesdays with Gurjeet: Men's Mental Health & November Reflections

Winter's here in Edmonton, and with it comes a reminder to check in-not just in with ourselves, but with the men in our lives. In this thoughtful and cozy episode of Well-Being Wednesdays, Gurjeet dives into the realities of men's mental health during Men's Health Month.

From braving the cold with her “sleeping bag coat” to unpacking how masculinity norms affect mental health, So lets the audience in on the significance of compassion, awareness, and simple acts of kindness. Drawing on the insights from bell hooks and real-life stories, she shines a light on the hidden struggles many men go through: from isolation and alcohol use to the stigma around seeking help.

It also includes an exercise in gratitude for those men who lift us up and those who may silently need our support.

Stay tuned for local mentions, including Some Rocks Now: The Weave—a unique Edmonton event worth checking out—and learn about counselling groups and resources like Momentum Counselling’s Anchor Men’s Group.

Let's break the silence, one Wednesday at a time.
