Breaking the Mold: Boys, Mental Health and the Power of Change

In this episode, we explore how rigid gender roles and traditional ideas of masculinity impact boys' mental health, self-esteem, and development. From the pressure to suppress emotions to the stigma of seeking help, we unpack the emotional toll of outdated norms. We also examine the role parents, caregivers, mentors play in reinforcing or challenging these expectations—and how inclusive education can help. Plus, we highlight how to support boys in expressing themselves fully and redefining what strength means today.
