Episode 8 - JOHN VAN DE PUTTE
from We Are Men
John lives in Tahmoor in the Southern Highlands and was diagnosed with MS in his early 20s. He’s a proud Father, TAFE student and is the President of Douglas Park Little Athletics. He helped start up the Community Pantry at Bargo and strives to be an active member of his community.Local heroes, community leaders, the mate that lives across the road. In a bid to tackle male suicide and the stigma surrounding men’s mental health, We Are Men is a community of real men talking about their real struggles. These men are opening up and discussing their mental health so other blokes can too, without the fear of shame or exclusion. It can be hard to ask for help but no man needs to struggle alone. Through our video stories, podcast, app (Onlyhuman) and highlighting of local services, we hope to encourage all men to chat about what they’re going through and seek help.
