The Federal Government has announced that it will specifically target men in its latest round of suicide prevention funding.

Suicide Prevention Australia, in partnership with the Australian Men’s Health Forum, has received a NSW Government grant of $340,000 over three years to implement a male-targeted suicide prevention project.

Men’s Resources Tasmania will hold a special vigil on the lawns of Parliament House from 7pm on August 23, calling on the Tasmanian Government to fund a multi-faceted campaign addressing male suicide prevention and to improve male health outcomes in the state.

Four in five Australians say they want the Government to invest more money tackling the health and social issues that impact men, such as mental health and male suicide.
