OG Therapy #156 - Why Gov. Newsom Is Calling out the Loneliness Crisis in Young Men
Manage episode 498953608 series 2540171
In this episode of OG Therapy, David breaks down the growing crisis of loneliness among young men and boys—something Governor Gavin Newsom just publicly addressed as a masculinity crisis in California. With nearly 1 in 4 men under 30 reporting no close friends and 42% of teen boys saying they feel lonely, it's clear this isn't just a personal issue—it's a societal one.
This one’s about disconnection, purpose, and how we got here. David unpacks why young men are struggling with school, work, and relationships—and why now more than ever, social health has to be part of the solution. Whether you're a parent, mentor, educator, or one of the young men going through it, this episode gives you perspective, compassion, and real talk.
