In today’s episode, we dive into the complex intersection of mental health and masculinity, with an honest and courageous conversation. Co-Host of Aspire and Co-Founder of I Have the Right To, Alex Prout, opens a candid discussion with our special guest, Board Member of I Have the Right To, Steve Peacock.
Steve, an advocate, survivor, father, and friend, returns to Aspire to share his deeply personal story of navigating the trauma of childhood sexual abuse, growing up in a male-dominated environment, and learning to reconnect with his emotions after years of silence. Together, we explore how traditional norms around masculinity can prevent boys and men from expressing vulnerability, accessing support, and healing from trauma.
This episode also features our co-hosts, Hugh E. and Gabriel V., two high school students who bring powerful insight and passion to the discussion. They reflect on the state of male mental health today, the importance of dismantling stigma, and the role young people can play in creating change.
