Update on our movements.

Paulo and Rose are pretty busy for the rest of this month so posting and responding to comments becomes hard.
During this time we visit as many services and politicians office's as possible.

We have had little to no feedback from the public about having the travelling program attend your state. Announcements will be coming on this soon.

Yes we have seen the report about femaside su***de charges being called for and NO we wont be sharing the post or giving it traction until we do the ground work needed and doing what we can as advocates to make a responsible difference. First we will be putting together a statement and assessment of the dangers and ballance and sending it to the relevant people. We will give commentary when needed. AT THIS STAGE ITS ONE PERSON WHO SENT a RECOMMENDATION AND ONE NEWSPAPER REPORT. 🤷‍♂️.

Our dates and places that are booked for the remainder of this month.
Rockhampton 11th and 12th.
Mackay 16th 17th 18th.
Bowen 23rd
Ayr 24th

Yes it is mens mental health month please understand we don't change much up during this month in our efforts or posts.
Every day is mens mental health/situational distress in this community and our efforts are EVERY DAY.

The list of issues in the mental health sector isn't anything to celebrate and the false narratives promoted are alot of the problem in male su***de.
This makes it hard to promote mental health awareness when we know its the mental health system that is failing our men.
Men often stay silent when in situational distress because of the mental health stigma created by these peak bodies! Making men and boys think they are mentally ill doesn't help them reach out when struggling with life it actually stops them!!!!!!
Telling men and boys to come and have a chat about life is how we get them to professional assistance 100%.

Shouldn't the su***de prevention agencies be the one's doing everything they can to promote mens mental health month. Shouldn't all funded services be the one's using the funds to promote this month? THEY DON'T AND THE QUESTION DURING THIS MONTH SHOULD BE WHY?

We hear from 100s of families a year that have lost sons,fathers and friends due to lack of care in the mental health sector and hospitals so for us its not much to celebrate.

Men and boys if you are struggling with a life situation we strongly encourage you see your gp and book some sessions with a counsellor to assist you through your life situation and talk to your friends when you think your heading down hill.
Please please do this.
Yet we don't celebrate mens mental health month out of respect to the families of the fallen who we fight for.
💙🪽💙.
Almost every person is being diagnosed with something these days and that then becomes the problem,rather than the life issue that needs addressing.
YES MENTAL HEALTH IS REAL AND WE SHOULD NOT BE NEGLIGENT WITH OUR MH.
But to keep ourselves mentally fit we must focus on our lifes and what we can do to make our life easier to manage, councillors help immensely and we should encourage visits but we need to do this in a manner that FITS FOR MEN AND BOYS!!!!

📢📢💙💙Sometimes we can't keep up.🤷‍♂️
The leader of the ACT Liberals and your ACT minister for men and boys health and welfare at the Canberra I Got You Gala 📢💙💙.
Mark Parton MLA understands early intervention through "situational distress " is imperative to reducing male su***de. This is a massive start and we know there will be MAJOR focus on male su***de and situational distress support systems.

We look forward to working with Mark where we can. Although we encourage you guy's and girls to give constructive input where you can.

💙🪽💙 The Men Spirit understand and provide non clinical approaches to men going through "situational distress".

Extract from post.

We keep telling men to ask for help. And most men keep not doing it.

That is not stubbornness. It is not weakness. It is the result of a lifetime of being told, in a hundred different ways, that needing support means something is wrong with you.

Walking into a clinic or calling a helpline takes a level of vulnerability that most men have never been given permission to feel. So they wait. They push through. They tell themselves they are fine until they really are not.

What actually works is something simpler. A lower-stakes first step. A conversation that does not feel like an assessment. A room where you can sit and listen before you have to say anything at all.

That is what we have created at The Men Spirit. Men come because a mate mentioned it, because something feels off and they cannot quite name it yet, or because they are just curious. You do not have to be in crisis to show up. You do not have to have it figured out.
That is exactly the right time to walk through the door.

If this sounds like something you or someone you know might need, come and have a look at what we offer. No pressure. Just a space that is here when you are ready.

Join The Men Spirit's safe, structured men's circles. Connect with other men online or face-to-face in Melbourne and Victoria. Find your local support group today.

Im not an advocate for "mental health ".

Im an advocate for male su***de reduction.
The only way male su***de will ever be reduced is with early intervention to "situational distress" prior to a mental health diagnosis or breakdown.

Yes mental health is one aspect of male su***de and we must seek assistance when we notice our mental health is struggling.
BUT our mental health fails due to a life situations the majority of the time!

We have billions of dollars in our mental health system,we have 1000s of mental health facilities and options available and these have failed to reduce male su***de and actively sees the death toll continue to rise.

If we are going to reduce male su***de and break the mental health stigma we MUST acknowledge and build support centres for males in situational distress/life crisis.

What's easier.
To ask someone about their mental health or to ask someone about life,kids,family, work etc?

If men and boys are made to think that they have a broken brain for feelings and emotions then they will continue to fight life's situational distress alone and the rate will never decrease!

We hear often "men don't seek professional assistance when struggling.
Stop and think for a minute,is that because they are being told they have to be mentally unwell to seek this help rather than the system acknowledging that not all life situations come with a mental health disorder/diagnosis.

Help men through family and relationship breakdown and loss of access to children,assist them when loosing employment or lack of motivation RATHER THAN SPRUIKING THE MESSAGE THAT MEN MUST BE CRAZY AND GO TO PHSYCH SERVICES TO GAIN SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE AND PROVIDE THE SPACE'S THEY NEED TO PROCESS "LIFE STRUGGLES".

THE MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM HAS NEVER HAD ANY IMPACT ON MALE SU***DE AND ITS TIME FOR CHANGE AND A SITUATIONAL DISTRESS SUPPORT SYSTEM TO BE FUNDED BY OUR GOVERNMENT ALONSIDE THE MENTAL HEALTH BANNER.
Mens housing shelters and dv escape option's.
Mens relationship breakdown centres and accommodation and an emergency fall back system if a male must leave the family home after accusations.
Fund mens programs and build mens drop in centres.
Encourage and give financial incentives for men to take up support roles and employment in the community support services.
Balance the funding in prevention agencies to match the numbers of 3/4. If 3/4 of all su***des are males then the awareness must be directed towards that 3/4 of our population.

This list of options are endless and many, although none of this will happen until situational distress is recognised as male su***de alongside the mental health banner.
I have had attempts at taking my life and all times was because of a life issue or pressure from life and all times I have been refused a bed in a ward as have 10s of thousands of men and boy's.

The solution is so easy and we break the mental health stigma but narratives control agenda's and sadly men are not on the agenda for our su***de prevention agencies and one side of politics.

PAULO ❤️
