Podcasts about Mental Health Awareness Month

In Season 9, Episode 9 of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast, Izzy Baker sits down with speaker, youth mentor, and resilience advocate Lawrence C. Harris for a raw, emotional deep dive into legacy, identity, and survival. This is a Father's Day episode like no other, and a salute to Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. Disowned by his father at just 13, Lawrence opens up about the trauma of abandonment, the cycles we unconsciously repeat, and the emotional cost of being “the one” chosen to break generational curses. But he also shares the grace in it — the strength he found through therapy, the healing power of forgiveness, and the spiritual perspective that helped him reclaim his story. Together, Izzy and Lawrence unpack what it really means to build something new without burning down what came before. From the burden of unspoken family expectations to the myth of being a “strong Black man,” this episode explores how inherited trauma, cultural programming, and religious pressure often shape men more than we realize. Lawrence opens up about the moment he realized he had been operating from CTSD (Complex Traumatic Stress Disorder) rather than PTSD, and why that distinction matters. They also touch on pop culture references like Tyler Perry and the movie The Cookout to reflect on how media mirrors our messy family legacies.From spiritual reflections on Abraham leaving his father's house (Genesis 12:1) to confronting the difference between honoring your family and enabling dysfunction, this episode is a wake-up call for every man silently carrying the weight of his last name. Lawrence and Izzy ask the hard questions: Can you forgive your abuser? Are you living your assignment, or your ancestor's regret?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.

Episode Overview  During Mental Health Awareness Month and Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, we explore a critical business issue affecting healthcare practices nationwide. Male patients with undiagnosed PTSD and mental health challenges are creating hidden operational costs, revenue losses, and staff frustration—all while walking out feeling unheard and unlikely to return. This episode breaks down the business case for recognizing how men's mental health decline presents differently and provides actionable strategies to turn this challenge into a competitive advantage.  Note: We approach this topic from a business and operational perspective, deferring to clinical mental health professionals for diagnosis and treatment guidance.  Key Highlights  The Hidden Financial Impact: Unrecognized men's mental health issues cost practices through incomplete care cycles, staff burnout, reputation damage, and missed referral opportunities Why Traditional Approaches Fail: Current assessment tools and communication strategies were developed primarily for women, creating systematic blind spots for male presentations Different Presentation Patterns: Men with PTSD show anger instead of sadness, risk-taking behaviors, work performance swings, and physical symptoms rather than traditional emotional indicators The Competitive Advantage: Practices that adapt first will capture a significantly underserved market segment and become go-to providers for entire families Strategic Implementation: Small, targeted modifications create maximum impact—environmental changes, communication training, enhanced screening, and referral network development Measurement Matters: Track engagement rates, referral completion, patient satisfaction by gender, and reputation metrics to ensure sustainable change Leadership Opportunity: Position your practice as a leader in comprehensive mental wellness during awareness months Memorable Quotes  "You're looking at undiagnosed PTSD and mental health decline in men, and it's creating a cascade of operational problems that are costing you significantly."  "Your practice was designed around assessment tools and communication strategies developed primarily for women. This isn't anyone's fault—it's just the historical reality of healthcare development. But it's creating a systematic blind spot."  "The practices that thrive in the next decade are going to be the ones that can adapt their operations to meet patients where they are, not where we think they should be."  "Every patient who feels unheard, misunderstood, or inadequately treated represents lost revenue, missed opportunities, and potential reputation damage."  "Thriving practices aren't built on good intentions—they're built on strategic systems that deliver consistent results for both patients and providers."  Action Items for Listeners  ✓ Assess your current intake forms for gender-neutral mental health screening ✓ Train staff to ask functional impact questions rather than emotional state questions  ✓ Evaluate your waiting room environment and reading materials ✓ Build relationships with mental health providers specializing in men's mental health ✓ Implement tracking systems for male patient engagement and satisfaction ✓ Start with one strategic modification that aligns with your current resources  This episode is part of the Thriving Practice podcast series, focused on helping healthcare provider-owners build sustainable, profitable practices through strategic operations and leadership development.  Tracy's Bio:  Tracy Cherpeski, MBA, MA, CPSC (she/her/hers) is the Founder of Tracy Cherpeski International and Thriving Practice Community.

June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month—and today we're diving into a real and raw conversation that every dad needs to hear.I'm joined by Coach Sean Patrick, host of the Just Call Dad podcast, for an honest talk about fatherhood, anxiety, injuries, and how men can stay strong through it all. We both share moments when anxiety hit hard—and how community helped us through it. We also unpack what it means to “stay in the game” as a dad when life throws you setbacks, especially through injuries or mental health struggles.If you're a father looking for encouragement, practical tips, and a reminder that you're not alone—this one's for you.

 In honor of Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, we're revisiting a conversation that deserves another listen. One that speaks directly to the invisible battles so many men fight.Originally recorded with Dr. Justin Moseley also known as The Mindset Doctor: this episode unpacks what happens when a near-death experience becomes the doorway to deeper purpose. Dr. Moseley shares how he went from a high-achieving chiropractor to a transformational speaker and coach helping others unlock their truth. But this isn't just about career shifts, it's about mental shifts.This conversation dives into:How to confront the fear of being seen (especially when it comes to speaking up)The power of intentional routines (not just about your morning coffee)And why affirmations aren't fluff they're a lifelineWhether you're a man on the edge of burnout or someone who loves one, this episode offers a reminder: mindset isn't a buzzword, it's a survival tool. And Dr. Moseley's story is proof that transformation starts on the inside.Not just a replay, but a timely reminder to check-in!

The Clay Edwards Show, episode 996, aired on 103.9 FM from the Men's Health and Women's Wellness of Mississippi Studios, streaming live on a stormy Monday in June, Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. Host Clay Edwards, counting down to the 1,000th episode, delivers what he calls America's most incendiary radio show, based in Jackson, Mississippi. The episode focuses heavily on cultural and political commentary, emphasizing masculinity and leadership, with Donald Trump as a central figure. Edwards attributes Trump's appeal to his high testosterone and alpha male persona, contrasting him with Democrats who, he claims, lack discipline and father figures. He references UFC fighters showing respect to Trump, highlighting his influence among "high testosterone" individuals. Edwards also discusses Los Angeles riots, blaming "daddy-less" individuals and illegal immigrants, and supports Trump's call for law and order, including a face mask ban at protests. The show promotes Men's Health Monday, offering free testosterone screenings, and touches on topics like Ozempic's side effects and local events like the Parade of Homes. Edwards introduces Andrew Gasser, the new 10 AM host, and teases upcoming segments on entrepreneurship and cultural debates, maintaining his unapologetic, provocative style.       

Divorce can feel like a storm that rolls in fast—no forecast, no shelter, no time to prepare. One day, you're a husband, a full-time father, a provider with a plan. The next, you're staring at an empty home, a fractured schedule with your kids, and a mountain of legal and emotional upheaval. It doesn't just split assets—it splits your identity.You may find yourself questioning your worth, your role, and your future. The routines that grounded you—picking up your kids from school, sitting at the dinner table, even just being part of a family unit—can vanish overnight. Finances take a hit. Friendships grow awkward. Even the strongest men can feel blindsided, powerless, and utterly alone.If you're a dad navigating this storm, I want you to know something crucial: you're not weak for struggling, and you don't have to weather it alone. This month—Men's Mental Health Awareness Month—is the perfect time to drop the armor, silence the shame, and take a real, honest look at what you're carrying inside.Because you're not just fighting for yourself—you're fighting for your presence in your children's lives, for your future peace of mind, and for the version of you that's still in there, waiting to rise.Let's talk. Let's be honest. And most importantly—let's help each other make it through.Join our Signal Channel: https://shorturl.at/8yqTbJoin The Divorce Dadvocate Membership Community - FULL Episodes - Live Meetings – FREE Workshops & Courses – Private Discussion Groups & MORE! - https://thedivorceddadvocate.com/membership-tiers/How Are You Adjusting To Your Divorce?

This is the "Check in" episode of The Locker Room episode of, hosts MH & EJ bring the barbershop vibes with a meaningful and funny twist. As June marks Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, the duo opens up with their signature health check-in, but this time, the conversation dives even deeper into the often-overlooked topic of mental health in men—especially Black men. They discuss how the culture around masculinity, sports, and the "man up" mentality can be both empowering and damaging, especially when it comes to expressing emotions, managing stress, and seeking help.MH & EJ talk candidly about the importance of checking in with your brothers, creating safe spaces for vulnerability, and breaking the stigma surrounding therapy and mental health support within the Black community. They touch on the pressures men face in everyday life—from family and work responsibilities to navigating identity in today's world—and how all of this impacts mental well-being.Then, the attention shifts to something that requires its own mental health evaluation: being a New York Knicks fan. With MH proudly repping as the show's resident die-hard Knicks supporter, the fellas take a light-hearted but real look at the emotional rollercoaster that is the Knicks experience. From postseason letdowns and questionable trades to the eternal hope for a championship run, this episode asks the real question: "Knicks fans… are y'all really okay?"Expect honesty, hilarious takes, emotional insight, and of course—plenty of basketball talk. Whether you're a Knicks lifer, a fan of the NBA, or just someone who values authentic conversations about mental wellness, this episode blends humor and heart in a way only Black in Sports can deliver.Key topics include:

June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, and this year's theme is “In Every Story, There's Strength.” It's a timely and powerful message that aligns perfectly with today's episode, titled: “This Too Shall Pass.”Being a man often comes with ambition, big dreams, and the pressure to turn those dreams into reality. But the journey from believing in your potential to actually living your dream is rarely a straight line.Our guest this week, Eberhardt Oswald widely known as Ebenation has lived that journey. From managing top names in the music industry and having everything a creative could ask for, to hitting rock bottom with a child to care for and no safety net, Ebenation's story is a powerful reminder that setbacks don't define us, our resilience does.In this honest and inspiring conversation, he opens up about losing it all, rebuilding from scratch, and slowly watching his dreams come back to life. His story is filled with lessons about perseverance, self-belief, and finding strength in the darkest moments.What do you do when you've hit your lowest point? Do you give up, or do you keep going? This episode reminds us why the phrase “This Too Shall Pass” holds so much truth and why, in every story there really is strength.Tune in to Men, Men, Men with Michael and Nadia for this deeply personal and moving episode.

Embrace compassion and remind yourself that growth takes time.Tidy your sanctuary: How cleaning your physical space can literally shift your mindset and invite the emotions you desire into your life.Embrace the tears: Why crying isn't weakness, but a powerful release that sets you free from trapped emotions.Do one thing just for joy: Break free from the need for productivity and indulge in an activity that simply feels good, no reason required.Lira underscores that healing isn't a tedious chore; it's a gentle, playful, lifelong journey found in the small, everyday acts of self-love. Your mental health isn't just important; it's relying on you to be human, to set boundaries, to detach from the external noise, and to embrace freedom.Don't miss this essential guide to prioritizing the most important person in your life: YOU.

Did you like this episode? Send us a text message and share your thoughts!In this episode of Cow-Side Conversations, Angie Breneman of Franklin View Farms LLC in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania describes their constant focus on cow comfort – and how after many years of making modifications to their current facilities, they reached a point of wanting to build a barn from scratch. She shares their upcoming three-stage project to build a new dry cow facility, three calf barns, and a compost stack shed. She also discusses the unique process of applying for financing when her family's goals were rooted in cow comfort, not necessarily growth in cow numbers. As someone who works with a lot of dairy farmers through her role at Penn State Extension, Angie opens up about work-life balance, how she juggles so many responsibilities while raising a family, farm safety tips for young children, and how an unexpected diagnosis put everything in perspective for her and her family. Her insight on mental and physical health is a great way to cap off Mental Health Awareness Month, and they are important reminders to think about all year long. 

On this powerful episode, me and Selyna have an honest conversation about what therapy and healing look like through an equity lens.

As we wrap up our focus on Mental Health Awareness Month, I want to turn our attention to something foundational—something that often gets missed in mental health conversations, but is absolutely essential to our emotional well-being: the nervous system.The more I work with women and mothers, the more I see how understanding and caring for the nervous system changes everything. It shifts how we experience stress, how we respond to our children, and how we show up in the world. So today, we're going to take a deep dive into why your nervous system needs a break—and how you can begin to give it the care it deserves.If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com

Are you expressing anger in unexpected ways? Maybe you've been way more aggressive toward undeserving folks, inanimate objects, or fellow drivers because it feels safer or is the only way to express the anger you're feeling with all the unrest in the world. Or maybe you're guilty of spending hours thinking of the perfect comeback to a snide comment left on a social media post. With all of the global divisiveness we're experiencing, and it being the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, I wanted to bring the concept of displaced aggression or anger to your attention. If your anger is surprising you or coming out sideways, you might be displacing it.  In this episode, I'll break down what it is, how to know if you're displacing your aggression, and healthier, more productive ways we can channel and manage our anger.
