Men make up nearly 80% of suicide deaths, yet too often their struggles go unseen. In this episode, host
Nic Dunn and contributor
Beth Akers are joined by
Joe Tuia'ana who shares the story behind the
I Love You, Bro Project, a grassroots movement creating safe, judgment-free spaces where men can open up, connect, and find purpose.
From barbershops to real estate offices, Joe explains why vulnerability can’t be forced, how community partnerships are saving lives, and what policymakers and loved ones can do to truly support men’s mental health.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please know you’re not alone. Help is available: dial 988 in the U.S. for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
