The support and brotherhood found in men’s groups

Stereotypes of men and masculinity often bring up images of a rugged individual, stoic and tough. But many men find this idea limiting, lonely or even damaging.

Some are turning to men’s groups as a resource. In these groups, they find brotherhood, support and judgment-free spaces to talk about things that come up in life. From relationships to fatherhood, career stress to spirituality — opening up and talking to other men can be transformative. Today, we invite leaders of local men’s groups on to talk about masculinity and what it means for them to get together in this way.

But first, we address listener feedback in our @ Us! segment with senior producer, Steve Haruch.

Guests:

• Joseph Bazelais, founder and creator of Men I.Q. Network
• James Addison, men’s coach and organizer of Conscious Men’s Circle Nashville 
• Emmanuel LeGrair, founder of The Commonwealth
