Time to Act on Male Suicide (ACT)

The Australian Men's Health Forum is calling on the Government to develop a national plan to prevent male suicide.

In a new report published on World Suicide Prevention Day, Thursday 10 September 2020, AMHF says the Government is spending $5 billion a year on mental health services but the money isn’t reaching men at risk of suicide.

The solution, says the report, is for the Government to develop a National Plan to Prevent Male Suicide that directs funding at male-friendly services and gets more men involved in preventing suicide.
