In October's Episode we begin a series of episodes where we look at the ways our various identities impact the way we think about wellness. In this episode we talk to two guests, professional staff member Gian Fabian, and Class of 2022, Kolby Smith, about the intersection of Masculinity and Wellness. We talk about a lot! Including how concepts of what it means to be a 'man' get in the way of seeking help, as well as the connection between masculinity and violence. The resources in this episode are posted below:
