Episode 26 -Breaking the Silence: Mental Health, Masculinity, and the Crisis Among Black Men

Dr. Byron Jasper, CEO of Byja Clinic, and George Becnel, Patient Zero, take a deep, honest look at the mental health crisis affecting men—especially Black men. We explore the societal pressures, stigma, and systemic barriers contributing to depression, anxiety, suicide, and trauma like PTSD. More importantly, we highlight solutions, including the role that Direct Primary Care (DPC) can play in providing culturally competent, consistent, and accessible mental healthcare.
