MENtal Health Podcast with Guest Neil Campbell

At the age of 9, Neil Campbell was sexually assaulted numerous times by a neighbour. While one in six boys will be affected by some form of sexual violence, the shame and stigma attached to these acts prevent the majority of individuals from speaking out.

However, three years after these assaults Neil did speak out. He shared his painful experiences with his parents, and in turn they informed the local authorities. The message from the police was clear: Don't talk about it. Bury it. Forget it. So, Neil attempted to numb the pain through alcohol while combatting his depression and suicidal ideations alone. Thirty years later, Neil was able to begin his recovery by joining a men’s support group at the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton.

Today, Neil puts a face and voice to sexual abuse so that other men know it's okay to talk about this prevalent issue. On this episode we speak openly and honestly because we understand that if we can find our voice, we can find our freedom.

About MENtal Health: It's Time to Talk

The stigma surrounding mental health is lessening, but men still face unique barriers that prevent them from seeking help. In an effort to avoid being perceived as weak or vulnerable, men have a tendency to bury their emotions deep within.

Based on Allan Kehler's bestselling book, this podcast showcases men who have persevered through their own mental health challenges. Together, we put a voice to issues including masculinity, mental illness, addiction, sexual abuse, suicide, and ultimately wellness.

The relationship between men and mental health has often been referred to as a silent crisis. The silence has been broken, and the time to talk is now.
