Masculinity and Mental Health Special with Ben Hurst

In the first episode of Season 2 of The Class Ceiling, Liam Gifford and Melissa Allada sit down with advocate, activist, and public speaker Ben Hurst for an insightful conversation about supporting young men through the challenges of masculinity, mental health, and emotional wellbeing. Ben shares stories from his work in universities and communities where he helps create spaces for young men to open up, challenge stereotypes, and connect in meaningful ways. Together, they dive into the power of curiosity, empathy, and role modelling in fostering growth and understanding, while also tackling the importance of normalising struggles and having honest conversations.
