In this episode, we hear from Dr. Tray McVay and Mr. Jarvis Sams about why it’s so difficult for Black men to seek and find counseling. Despite a legacy of violence or abuse, there are proven ways to change the narrative and begin to model positive attitudes and behavior. By sharing their own painful personal experiences, they illuminate the ways that Black men can take charge of their lives by “manning up” and seeking help.
