Have you heard that seeking support for mental health challenges is a sign of weakness? Or that it's just a phase that will pass on its own? Or even that you should just snap out of it? These are all too common responses that many men facing mental health struggles encounter. But our guest, Tyler Wittkofsky, will share the truth about the importance of community and support in mental health, as well as how it can lead to increased resilience and self-acceptance.
