The Talking Tradesman“Men are expected to provide. Men are expected to protect. But who supports the man when he’s struggling?” In this conversation, Russ Lee raises a difficult point about the expectations we still place on men. When a man loses his job, can’t provide, feels overwhelmed or simply isn’t coping, sympathy can quickly turn into judgement. Sort yourself out. Get back to work. Man up. But struggling doesn’t make a man lazy, weak or a failure. And this isn’t about taking support away from women. It’s about recognising that men need compassion, understanding and somewhere safe to turn too. Sometimes the person who has spent his whole life trying to be strong for everyone else needs somebody to be strong for him. 🎙️ My full conversation with Russ Lee is available on all platforms from 6am tomorrow morning. This is an important one. #MensMentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #BreakTheStigma #MentalHealthSupport
