#41: Reaching Men Considering Suicide
It’s Movember, and we are once again supporting the campaign to bring awareness and funding to men’s health related research and treatment along with our friends at The National At-Home Dad Network, Life of Dad, and Dad 2.0 Summit. In this episode, we focus on men’s mental health, and more specifically, suicide prevention. Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas joins us to talk about the Carson J. Spencer Foundation, on organization she co-founded after her brother’s suicide in 2004. Sally talks about the programs they run to reach men in most need of support and least likely to seek it. She also talks about how dad communities like ours can be part of the solution.

#24: Depressed Dads: Parenting Through the Darkness

It's our second annual Movember episode, and we once again focus on men's health, and more specifically men's mental health. Three of our favorite dads, Ryan Hamilton, Lorne Jaffe, and Ron Mattocks join us to talk about their individual experiences with anxiety, depression, and bi-polar disorder, and the various ways each has found treatment and support.

The Parents Phrase Book author Whit Honea joins again to talk about why he is working so hard to make sure his two young sons know that feelings matter, their own and those of the people around them.


Bestselling author Dr. John La Puma joins us to talk about men's health and the latest medical fad created by drug companies, a diagnosis of "Low T" or low testosterone to treat common symptoms of aging. Dr. La Puma also talks about his new book, REFUEL and outlines his eating plan to shed fat, boost testosterone and pump up strength and stamina naturally.

 

Whit Honea joins us again at the end of the show to offer his advice for parents trying to balance healthy eating with the treats kids enjoy.
