Trauma and Abuse: A Male Perspective

Disclaimer: This podcast contains topics such as suicide and assault. Please listen at your own discretion. On average, 4 men a day commit suicide in Australia. This adds up to over 1,500 men committing suicide per year. Why is it so high? And what can we do to lower it? Today's guest speaker is Adam Holstein who is a suicide awareness advocate and host of the very successful and well-known podcast 'How you going mate?' which is dedicated to starting conversations about people's mental health and well-being. We are here to start a conversation on how various types of assault and trauma affect men, how the idea of 'masculinity' inhibits men from seeking the help they deserve and how we can support the men we care about to take those first steps into caring for their emotional and mental well-being.
