Mark can’t tell the story of his mental health without giving a shout out to his mum. (Go mum!) She didn’t have all the answers, but what she did helped him get to where he is today.
We all have partners, fathers, brothers, sons, and mates that we love. When these men are well, the benefits ripple through relationships, families, and communities. But when these men are unwell and unsupported, we all feel it.
Too many men are dying too young, largely from preventable causes. Help-seeking can feel foreign, so many men kick the can down the road. When they do seek assistance, they often don’t get the support they need. And this puts enormous pressure on the families and communities who care for men.
It means we’ve got so many reasons to care about men’s health. And it’s why we must advocate for more public action to drive change.
