Join us for Men's Health Week (10-16 June) as we dive into the critical issues surrounding men's health with Professor Sunil Bhar, a leading expert in this field. In this insightful conversation, Professor Bhar sheds light on the often-overlooked mental health struggles faced by men of all ages and shares practical advice on how we can support the men in our lives-whether they're family members, friends, colleagues, or community members.
Key Highlights:
✅ In Australia, more money is spent on women and children’s healthcare needs than on men’s.
✅ According to the 2021 census, 38.3% of Victorian males were diagnosed with a mental health condition lasting six months.
✅ 77% of men polled reported experiencing symptoms like anxiety, stress, or depression.
✅ Mental health issues affect men from school-going children to the elderly, yet many do not share their condition with their families.
✅ Young adults are more likely to confide in their friends rather than family members about their mental health struggles.
✅ As men age (late 70s to 80s), those with mental health issues may develop suicidal tendencies.
✅ Discover how mental health professionals are addressing these challenges and learn practical ways to offer support and understanding to the men around you.
