Have you signed up to take part in Men’s Health Connected yet?
It’s a free, month-long summit for everyone who’s committed to improving the lives and health of men and boys in Australia.
We know it’s difficult to gather in person right now, which is why we’ve created this opportunity for you to get together online with men’s health leaders from around Australia. If you want to take part, check out the program below and sign up for each of the days you want to attend.
AMHF receives funding from the Australian Government.
Mental Health and Suicide Prevention
Week 1 - Monday 1st June to Saturday 6th June
Suicide kills 8 people a day in Australia and 6 of those deaths are men.
The necessary response to the COVID-19 pandemic has removed many of the supports that keep mentally health including work, money and social connections, while placing increasing pressure of intimate relationships and family life.
Join us for Week 1 of the summit if you’re interested in promoting men’s mental health and taking action to prevent male suicide.
Improving Men and Boys' Health
Week 2 - Tuesday 9th June to Friday 12th June
Men in Australia die an average of 6 years younger than women. Our health is shaped not only by our lifestyles (smoking, drinking, diet, exercise, weight etc) but by a range of social factors such as boys’ education, our experiences of fatherhood, work and money, relationships and access to male-friendly support services.
If you want to help us create a healthier future for men and boys in Australia then join us for Week 2 of the summit.
