Today marks International Men’s Day, a chance to take part in a global conversation about manhood, masculinity and men’s issues.
Australia is one of the healthiest and wealthiest countries in the world and yet suicide is the leading cause of death for males under the age of 55.
This year’s theme is ‘Men’s Health Champions.’ It aims to celebrate the people around the country, who are working to improve the lives and health of men and boys, and encourage more people to become a Men’s Health Champion.
One way you can be a champion is to ‘look out for your mates.’ Whether it’s a phone call, a check-in, or simply making space to talk, small actions can make a big difference.
We all have a role to play in supporting the boys and men in our lives, particularly when they’re doing it tough.
