Content warning: This episode discusses mental health and suicide.

Every day in Australia, an average of seven men will die by suicide. For years, the conversation about men’s mental health has followed a similar pattern: Men don’t talk. They don’t seek help. They’re too stoic and closed off. But what if the problem isn’t with men?

University of Newcastle researcher Dr Myles Young and lived experience advocate Elliot Waters are rethinking men's mental health - and the need for support pathways as diverse as men themselves. Together, they’re exploring innovative, evidence-based alternatives that could help more men access the type of support they need before they reach crisis point.

From Walk-and-Talk therapy and SMS4Dads, to the power of lived experience and storytelling, this episode is an important conversation about struggle, connection and the road to recovery.
