Topic: Mens Mental Health

Chris Hemmings, founder of the Men's Therapy Hub and host of the No Man's an Island podcast, joins the show to discuss masculinity and mental health. The Men's Therapy Hub serves as a directory of male therapists in the UK and is expanding to the United States. The platform launched with over 120 therapists to address the specific needs of men seeking professional emotional support.

Jonnie Jensen announces the launch of the book "Being Fine: The Other F Word," an anthology featuring 16 male authors discussing mental health struggles. Jensen describes the launch event where he met Olympic ski jumper Eddie the Eagle Edwards and was tasked with reading an excerpt from the book. The discussion emphasizes the importance of men talking about shared traumas like bankruptcy, miscarriage, and loss to break the cycle of isolation.

The host discusses the importance of having a circle of men for support when facing personal challenges, such as issues with children's schools or financial anxiety. The Team Super Dad community offers a bi-weekly "Dad Call," a private and free Zoom session where fathers can share experiences and request help. Registration for the upcoming Monday call is available through the organization's website to ensure a safe and closed environment for participants.

The "Dad Call" is a bi-weekly, private online session held on Monday nights at 8 PM for fathers to connect and solve problems. Recent discussions have ranged from lighthearted topics like shaving routines and bands to serious subjects like autism and Tourette's syndrome. The host argues that isolation is a punishment in nature and society, urging men to seek community support rather than trying to handle life's burdens alone.

The episode concludes with announcements for upcoming Team Super Dad initiatives, including the "Monday Night Dad Call" designed to support men during lockdown. The host also discusses the relaunch of the Hero Academy, a monthly success and accountability group for fathers. He invites listeners to join the Facebook group and visit the official website before signing off.
