90% of Crime Victims Are Men—And We're Still Not Talking About It | Blueprint Podcast Ep 41.

from The Blueprint with Dr. Jelani I. Reid · host The Blueprint Podcast

He was helping everyone else. Then his father asked: "What about me?"Garth Voisin is a fitness trainer by trade, but his real work is in the minds of men. After a conversation with his father that shifted his entire perspective, Garth dedicated himself to creating spaces where men—young and old—could finally have the conversations they were never taught to have.In this episode of The Blueprint Podcast, Garth sits down with Dr. Jelani Reid for a raw, unfiltered conversation about men, mental health, and the urgent need for change in Trinidad and Tobago.He doesn't sugarcoat it. He points to the statistics: 90% of crime victims are men. 83% of suicides are men. And yet, the cultural response remains the same: "Be a man. Keep it inside."Garth challenges that narrative. He argues that men have been choosing to be victims—waiting for sympathy instead of taking action. He calls out the lack of community, the absence of male mentors, and the way we've built a culture of correction instead of compassion.But he also offers solutions. He refuses to host traditional "workshops" where men sit in circles and talk about their feelings. Instead, he brings men together through activities they actually enjoy: ATV rides, cookouts, fitness. And in schools, he runs The Blueprint Program—meeting young men where they already are, giving them tools for emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and financial literacy.He speaks candidly about being a father, about the moment his son called him out for repeating old patterns, and about why he would change nothing about his past—because then his son wouldn't be here.This is a conversation about brotherhood, accountability, and the courage it takes to finally say: "I need help."Listen now.
