Celebrating International Men’s Day with The Men Who:
Listen on:
It’s International Men’s Day on November 19th and we’re celebrating the best way we know how… by talking to two men who are experts in being men and helping men! Sounds good right?
We’re concerned that international Men’s Day doesn’t get the recognition that it deserves so this month on Elevenses with CEC we’re spending time with Joe Anderson and John Robertson, co-founders of the men’s collective The Men Who: to figure out why exactly that is and what needs to change. Is every day already men’s day or do they deserve more credit than that?
Join us for this informative episode of the podcast where we’ll discuss everything from mental health to inequality, the patriarchy to politics, what it means to be a man in modern-day society and the importance and impact of growing healthy connections and encouraging open communication.
More About The Men Who:
We are The Men Who: is a collective committed to providing a secure, dynamic and positive environment for men to actively maintain healthy mental well-being. Men have the opportunity to talk, listen, support, care for and help themselves and each other build meaningful connections in person, online and together. Talk. Listen. Support.
