What happens when a man is physically or mentally abused and the system has no answers?
We talk about the crushing reality of seeking help only to be dismissed or redirected. Call a mental health resource? They say call 911. Call 911? They say it’s not an emergency. This isn’t just frustrating—it’s dangerous. And in moments where men are already barely hanging on, the system seems to say, “Deal with it.”
This is what started a powerful conversation after we listened to a voicemail from a listener—one that cracked open a deeply overlooked issue.
So what do we do when the very places designed to support us leave us stranded? Maybe it's time to build something better. A space where men can actually be heard, believed, and supported. We close the episode with that thought—and maybe, the start of a movement.
In Check-In, Tommy also shares a moment of clarity as he begins to piece together the next steps in his life, while Tim opens up about the pressure that's been closing in, forcing him to keep pushing forward in silence.
