Men’s Mental health is not talked about anywhere near enough. ⠀ ⠀ I am certainly guilty of bottling up emotions and just soldering on. I am working on changing this and being more vocal personally with the help of my amazing support network.⠀ ⠀ Vulnerability is deemed as weak. Sharing our feelings is deemed as soft. ⠀ ⠀ This needs to change. ⠀ ⠀ - Eight Australians die every day from suicide, that’s double the road toll. ⠀ - 75% of those who take their own life are male. ⠀ - Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australians aged between 15 and 44⠀ ⠀ Speaking up is better then keeping silent. Because silence is a killer. ⠀ ⠀ If you need to chat, reach out! There is always someone willing to listen! ⠀ ⠀ I gained my knowledge from lifelineaustralia ⠀ ⠀ Want to talk about it? ⠀ Contact Lifeline on 13 11 14
