Criminal justice

Season 6, Episode 8: Masculinity – Exploring How Traditional Views of Masculinity Affect Mental Health

What’s it really like to go through the justice system? Experts by Experience starts by asking – and listening.

Created by Catch22Minutes, this series puts lived experience at the heart of the conversation. In each episode, we hear from people who have been through the justice system, as well as professionals working to change it from the inside.

This week, Nic speaks with Noel Moran about masculinity; what it means, how it connects with the criminal justice system, and why creating safe, trusted spaces matters for men’s wellbeing and growth.

Through his journey as a yoga teacher and training facilitator, Noel shares how challenging stereotypes, building trust, and creating spaces for honesty can transform lives inside and outside custody.
