Understanding Men’s Mental Health Challenges

Many of the challenges in society emanate from mental health. As a group, men tend to gather less in the community to talk about issues like mental health. Instead, men tend to withhold their emotions, as well as physical and mental challenges.

Helping men tackle the difficult subject of mental health will not only help that one person, but, potentially, a series of complex issues that flow.

Let’s face it, Aussie blokes find it hard to ‘fess the beans about how we are really feeling. There’s this unspoken rule to be tough and not let on if the headspace is a bit wonky. It’s almost better to be quiet and wonky than speak about mental health.

Unfortunately, we have all had mates who have done it tough for a bit (or a long time). And we know that it has an effect on husbands, wives, sons and daughters, as well as their wider community. And that’s ultimately why this charity has been set up … lets have SOUND MINDS, lets have BETTER MEN and let’s make this a better community.
