There is a lot of stress out there about mens health, he’ll be right, right?
Actually, maybe not….
‘A boy born in Australia in 2010 has a life expectancy of 78.0 years while a baby girl born at the same time could expect to live to 82.3 years old. Right from the start, boys suffer more illness, more accidents and die earlier than their female counterparts.
Men take their own lives at four times the rate of women (that’s five men a day, on average). Accidents, cancer and heart disease all account for the majority of male deaths.’ Men’s Health Week.org

Men’s Mental Health
‘70% of men say their friends can rely on them for support, but only 48% say that they rely on their friends. In other words: we’re here for our mates, but worried about asking for help for ourselves. Reaching out is crucial.’ – Movember.org
The team at Aura Family Doctors are supportive of mental wellbeing. There are many online resources out there but a having a yarn can make the world of difference. Movember has great resources and this recent 3 part documentary by Gus Worland aims to get to the bottom of the male suicide crisis, effect real social change and hopefully even save lives.
