EP 11 Stigma Around Men’s Mental Health

In this episode of the show, your hosts Shane Hyland and Gareth Shears welcome Aaron Corria, Director of Brotectors Ltd. Aaron is a sportsman who lives in Cardiff Bay , who battled depression himself for six years before speaking out. He has set up his own website called Brotectors along with the hashtag #WeGotThis to inspire other people to get help. Aaron is not a health professional, but his website has just given people the opportunity to share their experience. Just having someone to talk to makes a huge difference. 

 In this episode Aaron shares: 

• How his depression led him to the brink of having suicidal thoughts
• Why he launched his online campaign
• Early signs of depression and how to overcome it
• The massive stigma around men talking about their feelings
• What’s next for Brotectors
• Finding an accountability partner
