With Allan and Corri Hunsperger · Guest: Edward Bartlett
Edward Bartlett, President of the Domestic Abuse and Violence International Alliance and a public health researcher specializing in men's health and family policy, explores why men in Canada and the United States are living significantly shorter lives than women. He discusses the growing men's health crisis, why it receives so little attention, what countries like Ireland have done to improve men's health outcomes, the reality of domestic abuse against men, and why healthy fathers are essential to building strong families and communities.
