#368 Boys to Men: The Importance of Masculinity

Culture and society may have erred when they decided we don't need strong men and fathers. Ashley Mariani, MSW joins Blyss and Dr. Stu to discuss the role of the male partner in pregnancy and equipping them with the skills to navigate medical settings confidently in support of their partner. Male participation in the birth process can lead to deeper trust, intimacy and respect in the couple and a stronger family bond.
