Did you know over 6 million men in the U.S. experience depression each year — but most never ask for help?

In this powerful episode of the Project Purpose Podcast, we’re breaking the silence around men’s mental health. Join me and my expert guests, Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapist Mr. Ontonio Dawson, as we unpack:

  • Why men struggle to speak up about mental health
  • The impact of toxic masculinity and early conditioning
  • Cultural stigmas around therapy — especially in Black and Caribbean communities
  • Tangible ways we can support men emotionally and mentally

Whether you're a man who's been suffering in silence, or someone who loves and supports one — this conversation is for you.
