Male Suicide: Unmasking The Crisis - with Dan Somers & Dr Susie Bennett
In this episode, we’re tackling a sensitive and tough conversation that can save lives. We’re joined by Dan Somers and Dr Susie Bennett from the men’s mental health charity ManUp to talk about male suicide - particularly why men are disproportionately affected, how the empathy gap shows up, and what’s really driving the crisis beneath the surface: lack of purpose, isolation and useful tools for emotional regulation.
We unpack the gender differences that too often get ignored, how cultural scripts keep men emotionally armoured, and the practical steps that help men open up before they hit the cliff-edge.
