Breaking Barriers: Men's Hesitancy in Seeking Parenting Support

Episode Overview

  • Exploration of men's challenges in seeking help for parenting through addiction
  • Insights into societal constructs of masculinity and self-reliance
  • Discussion on the barriers men face in expressing vulnerability and seeking assistance
  • Importance of self-compassion and effective communication tools in parenting
  • Strategies for behavioural change and fostering positive family dynamics
I think at the top of the list would be self-reliance. And like that we shouldn't be a burden on other people. Like I'll ask even the guys in the group. A lot of them, they'll really have close friends. And no, because they don't want to burden their friends with this stuff.
In this insightful episode of Hopestream, host Brenda Zane delves into the topic of men's reluctance towards therapeutic support in parenting kids struggling with substance misuse. Joined by guest Steve Andrews, they unravel the complexities faced by dads in seeking help and adopting new communication methods. The conversation sheds light on the societal constructs of masculinity, self-reliance, and the challenges men encounter in expressing vulnerability and seeking assistance for their children.
Through personal experiences and professional insights, Brenda and Steve navigate the nuances of self-compassion, communication tools, and behavioural strategies essential for parents navigating the turbulent waters of addiction within the family.
