The Australian Men’s Health Forum developed a Know Your Man Facts toolkit on Men’s Mental Health because 1 in 2 men will experience a mental health disorder in their lifetime.
Furthermore, suicide is the leading cause of death for males under the age of 55 and men account for 3 in 4 suicides.
We think it’s critical to talk about the issues impacting so many men and look at what can be done to improve their mental health and wellbeing.
The presentation comes with interactive speaker notes and 32 slides that can be tailored to the requirements of those conducting the talk. Some suggestions for delivery:
Get two or three people in your workplace to give the presentation, dividing up each section and writing responses on a board.
Hold a morning tea, lunch or afternoon session and give the presentation over, during or before refreshments.
Print out the 10 KYMF graphics and post them on walls, or in a visible space.
Print out the Men’s Mental Health infographic and distribute it to your audience as a conclusion to the event.
