***Trigger Warning: Mental Illness, Suicide, Depression, Anxiety, Islamophobia*** Salaam Alaykum Everyone :) I hope everyone's week has been good! This week on the podcast, I am joined by Gilly, an advocate for men's mental health. This is the beginning of this topic, and i'd love to have more conversations around this silent, and gendered issue. We discuss the stigma's attached to men's mental health; why it's important that we discuss it; the inter-generational effects of negative mental health; how Islamophobia effects it, and MORE! I hope this is a fruitful discussion, and if you feel folks may benefit from it, please share the podcast!
