Mentoring Men is a registered Australian charity providing free long-term one-to-one life mentoring programs for men Australia wide. We focus on a proactive approach, engaging Australian men who need helpful conversations and guidance to get on the right track before situations spiral into potential crisis. Our male-only mentors are caring volunteers who have decided to give some of their personal time to help another man in his life journey.

Our definition of The Mentoring Men Mentor:

"A Mentor is someone who will listen, encourage, and support self-guidance and personal growth in another, whilst maintaining their own self-care”. Can this be you?

Training outcome:

Understand how the mentor role is to listen without judgement
Learn the value of good questions and how to avoid ‘fixing’
Experience mentorship from the perspective of both mentor and mentee
Knowledge of the occurrence and demographics of suicide in Australia
Differentiate between suicide risk factors and warning signs
Learn the SALT method in suicide prevention to bring an at-risk person towards safety

About the training course:

The online group mentor training and suicide prevention training is the chance for new mentors to train together and learn from one another. There is some brief mandatory e-learning to complete beforehand.

These online trainings are interactive "Cameras ON" sessions where you will work as an individual, in small groups and as a whole group. PLEASE NOTE the training may be postponed and rescheduled if minimum numbers are not reached.
