Mutual MENtal
Men's Mental Health podcast for candid and relatable discussions on mental health from a different perspective, that is the peer perspective. Cultural stigma surrounding mental health is one of the main obstacles to people admitting that they are struggling and seeking help. It is particularly pronounced in men and often described as a “silent epidemic”. Men die by suicide 3 times more often than women. Even though our goal is to have men opening up, everyone is welcome to listen and learn a thing or two. So let’s end the silence, break the stigma and normalize mental health. Sensitive content for some people. Hosts are not therapists nor doctors. Everyone’s experience is different and valid. Find what works for you. If you or someone you know need immediate mental health support, in the US dial 988 or call 1-800-273-TALK (8255), in Canada call 1-833-456-4566 (in Québec 1-866-277-3553) or go to your local hospital emergency room.

9. Self Care And Avoiding Burnout
•
Pat & Hassan
In this episode, we check in and talk about what we have been up to the past couple of weeks. Pat has been doing his Alt2Su group virtually and in person, and mountain biking around MOAB. Also, a trip to Machu Picchu is in Pat's future. Hassan has a new girlfriend, work has been going well, and a trip to Georgia is booked!
We talk about the importance of taking a break and being aware of potential burnout. Self care is very important to both of us and has been valuable in our recovery journeys. Hope you enjoy and thanks for the support!
