Welcome to episode one of the Problem With Men Podcast.
In this episode of The Problem With Men Podcast, we’re looking at divorce. While we’re often captivated by gossip around celebrity break ups (see Kim Kardashian's divorce for example) there is a common theme where women are seen as getting a fresh start and new lease on life. Divorced men on the other hand are considered bitter and miserable. Is this really the case? Does divorce affect men and women differently? How does a man deal with divorce? And how does it affect a mans health?
We speak to Anthropologist Craig Eric Morris, Divorce Solicitor Vanessa Lloyd Platt, licenced therapist Gary Brown and Professor John Oliffe the founder and lead investigator of the University of British Columbia’s Men’s Health Research program.
