EPISODE 6: Why Men Struggle With Mental Health with Dave Chambers

Our latest episode of Being Curious with Counselling Reflections tackles a crucial topic: the struggles men face regarding mental health. We were joined by psychotherapist Dave Chambers, who works primarily online from Portugal. Dave sheds light on a concerning reality: despite statistics suggesting that 94% of men may experience mental health challenges and suicidal thoughts, only 30% actually seek professional help. This episode delves into the reasons behind this gap and explores ways to bridge it. The discussion acknowledges the ongoing discourse around feminism and masculinity. The episode aims to move beyond this debate and focus on creating a culture where men can prioritize their mental well-being without feeling conflicted about their masculinity. Tune in for this insightful conversation and gain valuable knowledge on how to support the mental health of men in our communities.
