About this listen

Dr. Oliffe has authored several studies around men's mental health. We discuss two of his most recent ones, "Mapping Men's Mental Health Help-Seeking After an Intimate Partner Relationship Break-Up" (Oliffe, '22) and "Masculinity and mental illness in and after men's intimate partner relationships" (Oliffe, '22).

I am a huge proponent of mental health and in fact got into this industry because my therapist strongly suggested it! There's a lot going on with men right now and we try to get at some of the issues that crop up for men in and after breaking up with a partner.

Dr. John Oliffe is a Professor and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Men’s Health Promotion at the School of Nursing, University of British Columbia. Founder and lead investigator of UBC’s Men’s Health Research program, his work focuses on masculinities as it influences men’s health behaviours and illness management, and its impact on partners, families and overall life quality. Findings drawn from his research offer guidance to clinicians and researchers to advance men’s health promotion in the areas of psychosocial prostate cancer care, smoking cessation and male suicide prevention.
