Let's Talk About Men's Mental Health with Pathways

In this episode of We Talk Health, we sit down with some folks from Pathways Behavioral Health Services to have an honest, eye-opening conversation about men’s mental health.Men are often taught to “tough it out” or stay silent when they’re struggling—but mental health challenges don’t discriminate. These Pathways professionals are working to break down the stigma that keeps so many men from asking for help. With backgrounds that include lived experience, they know firsthand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel.Together, they discuss what our mobile crisis unit does, how mental health and substance use disorder often go hand-in-hand, and what recovery can truly look like when people are met with empathy and understanding. Their message is clear: asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s an act of courage.Whether you're struggling yourself, know someone who is, or simply want to better understand the challenges men face, this episode offers insight, encouragement, and hope.Guests:Stephen TaylorMobile Crisis Program ManagerJonathan YoungRecovery Navigator CoordinatorTroy BeasleyRecovery NavigatorHost:Kara MobleySocial Media CoordinatorResources:Pathways - 800-587-3854Crisis Services - Call or Text 988Press 0 to speak to a counselor.You can also chat with 988lifeline.org.Mobile Crisis - 800-372-0693Recovery Navigators Jackson Office - 731-541-5485Dyersburg Office - 731-287-2545Our Statewide Crisis Line is also available at 855-CRISIS-1 (855-274-7471)Blog:6 Tips on How to Talk to Someone About Suicide
