Seidler helping clinicians, helping men - Suicide Prevention Summit

Dr Zac Seidler joins the 2021 Suicide Prevention Summit on 16 May to discuss ‘the short window of opportunity’ clinicians have to engage with men who seek professional help for mental health issues.

Compared to women, men are more likely to drop out of consultations and attend significantly fewer clinical sessions, although over half of those who suicide seek professional help in the months leading up to their death.

Dr Seidler's presentation promises to break down key findings from a national men’s survey and a pilot of clinician training on engaging men, to discuss the future direction needed to curb men’s poor mental health outcomes.

His session will help clinicians ‘feel confident and competent’ to more effectively engage male clients and help them work towards recovery.
