💙 Today is International Men’s Day - a moment to recognise the men and boys in our lives and shine a light on supports that can help to strengthen their mental health and well-being.
💙 This year’s theme, “Supporting Men and Boys”, encourages us to celebrate positive role models, check in with the men around us, and help create environments where men and boys feel safe to open up about what’s going on beneath the surface.
💙 We know that men are less likely to seek support early on, even when they’re struggling. Social connections, mateship and practical supports can make a huge difference. Asking genuine questions, listening and helping men link in with services can save lives.
Want some tips on how to help support a mate in your life? You can try:
🩵 Checking in genuinely, like “How are you going, really?”
🩵 Encourage early help-seeking
🩵 Point them to local supports (or help them to make the first call)
🩵 Celebrate the men in your life who show kindness, resilience, vulnerability or care for others! You can tell them that they’re noticed, appreciated and loved.
