The baby boomer male

There's a lot of comment around on the death of Steve Rogers and the fact that he suffered from depression but felt unable to talk about it to anyone. In the last few years I've actually noticed that more of my peer group - all classic boomers - are able to open up and not feel uncomfortable. This has included on issues of our health and wellbeing. A few years ago I would not have thought it possible. We have to somehow raise the awareness of a bigger proportion of this - and subsequent - generations that it's perfectly OK, it's normal and it's certainly not poofy.

A few of us to whom I'd apply these comments have had the advantage of some training courses that forced us into being more open in our communications with each other and with other people. See previous post...
