Description

You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family. We all know that. The boys discuss whether or not the family, which you can’t choose, can affect your mental health and if so, how.



They also continue their discussions on the Ukraine situation, Jack’s trip to Australia, and more.

• Understanding your family members from a mental health perspective
• When siblings interfere with family matters
