We focus on a proactive approach, engaging with men who need help before they spiral into crisis.Sometimes just having someone listen, without judgement or agenda, can be the difference between life and death. Our volunteer Mentors provide vital support for men which in turn creates stronger, healthier families and communities.Why only MEN? In short, men represent 75% of all suicides in Australia and yet most suicide prevention support services are more effective at reaching women not men.Mentoring Men provides a support that is accessible to every man in Australia. So let’s support men in their life journey.Mentoring Men - https://mentoringmen.org.au1300 583 925Contact Mentoring Men if you are interested in support from a mentor, or if you would like to volunteer to become a mentor.
