This week on Unpacked we are chatting with Jake Stika, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Next Gen Men. We chat with Jake on gender-based issues related to the social and emotional development of young men and boys, the health and well-being of men in communities, workplaces and their vision for a future where boys & men experience less pain, and cause less harm. We talk power dynamics, breaking down gender roles, what to say to young men and boys, how to create space more inclusive spaces at home, school and at work.

Unpacked is a podcast exploring life as messy people. It’s conversations with counsellors, leaders, storytellers discussing the experiences of being human. We talk about the strength that comes from big messy failures and vulnerable moments so we can learn to live more authentically. Subscribe and leave us a review!
