Fatherhood Program with Ven J C Adubasim at Family Love FM 97.7

"How are you doing?"
For many men, that simple question is often answered with:
"I'm fine."
But behind those two words may be stress, loneliness, financial pressure, burnout, fear, uncertainty, or emotional exhaustion.

As we continue our Men's Mental Health Awareness Month series, today we discussed:
No Man Is an Island: Building Support Systems for Men's Mental Well-being

In a society where men are often expected to carry burdens silently, who supports the supporter? Who listens to the listener? Who checks on the man everyone assumes is strong?

Join us as we explore:
✅ The importance of friendship and brotherhood
✅ Why many men experience emotional isolation
✅ The role of family, church, workplace, and community
✅ Mentorship and accountability groups
✅ How meaningful connections can improve mental well-being

This conversation isn't just for men.

It's for wives. It's for parents. It's for friends. It's for faith leaders. It's for anyone who believes that strong communities are built when nobody struggles alone.
Because men matter too.

Listen. Share. Start a conversation.

Ep 24 - Building Support Systems for Men's Mental Well-being The Fatherhood Program · Episode

"Be a man."
"Man up."
"Men don't cry."

Many of us have heard these words growing up. But what happens when the pressure to appear strong prevents men from speaking about their struggles?

This Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, we are having a critical conversation on:

🎙️ The Silent Struggle: Why Men Suffer in Silence and How to Break the Stigma

We'll be discussing:
✅ Why many men hide emotional pain
✅ Depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout
✅ The impact of societal expectations on men
✅ Why seeking help is a sign of strength
✅ How families and friends can support the men in their lives

A healthy family needs healthy men, and healthy men need safe spaces to talk, heal, and thrive.

Topic: “Raising Boys to Flourish: Mentorship, Mental Health & the Future of the Boy Child.”
Guest: Chidiebere C. Akomah

As the world marked the 2026 International Day of the Boy Child, this episode explored the realities, pressures, and expectations facing boys in today’s society.

From mentorship and mental health to masculinity, parenting, leadership, and emotional wellbeing, we discussed what it truly means to help boys flourish and thrive in a changing world.

Are boys being properly guided, supported, and prepared for the future — or simply expected to “man up” and survive on their own?

Please listen to this honest and thought-provoking conversation as we examined the role of families, schools, mentors, faith communities, and society in raising healthy, responsible, emotionally balanced men.

✔️ The effect of stigma in our society

Happy Sunday Dear Friend,

https://open.spotify.com/episode/5NcHMJ1i7UQ5oQhm87SRsb?si=Tt-P9NPGSUONVR5AHFaMBg

In this episode of the Fatherhood Program, we take a deep and timely look at Hurried Child Syndrome—a growing concern in today’s fast-paced world where children are often pushed to grow up too quickly.

What does it really mean to “hurry” a child? At what point does early exposure, discipline, or achievement-driven parenting become unhealthy pressure? We explore the social, cultural, and parental factors that contribute to this syndrome, including academic competition, technology, and rising expectations placed on children.

The conversation also examines the emotional and psychological effects of a hurried childhood, how it impacts a child’s self-esteem, identity, and relationships, and how these effects can follow them into adulthood. We reflect on the often unintentional role parents and caregivers play, even with the best intentions.

Most importantly, this episode offers practical insights and guidance for parents who want to slow things down, protect childhood, and raise emotionally healthy children in a demanding society. We also ask a critical question: Has our society begun to value achievement more than childhood itself?

This episode is a must-listen for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone interested in the well-being of children and the future we are shaping for them.
