The Quiet Men’s Mental Health crisis with Fred Ochieng’ & Ian Gitaka —Mental360

<p>Stigma is too easy an answer. The real question is: what is a man actually telling himself when he decides not to ask for help?</p><p><br></p><p>Dr Claire sits down with Fred Ochieng’ @ochiefreddie, Programs officer and counselling psychologist and Ian Gitaka @sunbee.ian a therapist, both from Mental360, who are on the ground doing the work, not just theorising about it. </p><p><br></p><p>Together they trace the full arc: what men actually feel beneath the surface, what it costs to perform “I’m fine” for years, and what has to happen before most men finally make the call. They also get into what the evidence and experience say actually works — and close with a direct message to any man listening, alone, sitting with something he hasn’t named yet.</p><p><br></p><p>Not a lecture. Not a cliché. Just an honest conversation that’s long overdue.</p><p><br></p><p>Connect with Mental360: @mental360kenya_1 </p><p><br></p><p>CTRH Podcast Location Partner:</p><p>@ashleyfurniturekenya</p><p>@fairdealfurniture</p><p><br></p><p>Production by @artlight_studio</p><p><br></p><p>How can you support this podcast?</p><p>Subscribe &amp; Rate this episode, Share &amp; leave a comment.</p><p><br></p><p>#MensMentalHealth #mentalhealth #Mental360 #MensHealthAfrica #BreakTheStigma #CTRHPodcast</p>
