Breaking the Cycle: Raising Emotionally Healthy Boys and Men with Dr Portia #HealthTalk

Loading player...
Men's Health Month presents an opportunity to look beyond physical health and examine the emotional and mental well-being of men and boys. Many men grow up hearing phrases like "man up," "boys don't cry," or "be strong," often learning to suppress their emotions rather than express them in healthy ways. As a result, generations of men have struggled with communication, vulnerability, and seeking support when they need it most.

This conversation explores how we can break unhealthy cycles by raising boys differently, equipping young men with emotional intelligence, and creating environments where men of all ages feel comfortable speaking about their challenges. From parenting and mentorship to personal growth and mental wellness, we discuss what it takes to build healthier generations of men.
