As men, we often think our strength comes from our ability to endure suffering and refuse help.

But that’s not what resiliency is. If we want to be strong, if we want to be effective fathers, team members, workers, or anything in between, we need to actually take care of ourselves.

When you feel nothing, that’s a warning light on your engine that something is wrong. That numbness tells you a lot.

In this article, Dr. David Kuhl and Don’t Change Much hosts Trevor Botkin and Mike Cameron explore how they came to these realizations personally and what they did to start investing in themselves and building real resilience.

In June of 2027, he’ll be cycling from Vancouver to Halifax to raise awareness for men’s mental health, while raising funds that will help support men and their families.

This will mark Trevor’s second cross-country journey, and we’re proud to have his support.
