From the MenAlive Weekly Newsletter, June 24th (June is Men’s Health Month):
ManTherapy: Therapy the Way a Man Does It. A new book by Joe Conrad. Joe launched the Man Therapy website in 2010 to address the issue of suicide among working-age men. This is a topic that is near and dear to me since my mid-life father took an overdose of sleeping pills when I was five years old after he had become increasingly depressed when he couldn’t make a living to support his family. My father was one of the lucky ones. He didn’t die. Man Therapy, the book, and the website is a wonderful resource for everyone who cares about men’s health. You can learn more by visiting their website: https://mantherapy.org/

Richard V. Reeves is the founder of the American Institute for Boys and Men (AIBM). I reviewed his first book, Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do About It, and interviewed Reeves for my podcast. Reeves has a new Substack he is calling “Modern Fatherhood.” He says, “I’ve come to believe that if there is a one-word solution to the challenges of boys and men it is this: fatherhood. Dads matter for kids. Dads matter for families. And being a Dad matters, a lot, for men themselves. Fatherhood is the ultimate expression of mature, pro-social masculinity.” - Jed Diamond, 2026-06-24.

A new documentary film premiered in 5 US cities in June (including Minneapolis!) called “No Country for Mothers” that explores the culture wars surrounding American motherhood and why both the "girl boss" and "trad wife" labels ultimately distract us from the real issue: the lack of support for American families. Following activist Reshma Saujani, the film charts a growing national movement to reunite moms across divisions and win the kind of historic support families actually need. The film is intentionally not available on streaming services nor on DVD BluRay discs. Across the country, moms are hosting screenings in their homes, communities, and workplaces — creating space for honest conversations, shared experiences, and collective action. Several Twin Cities screenings are planned. https://momsfirst.us/doc/
