Why men's mental health?

Men aged 18-44 are the most at-risk group for taking their own lives. In fact, men account for 75% of all lives lost to suicide. Men can often be scared to admit that they are not okay for fear of being judged, considered weak, or a burden on their family and friends – even though that is simply untrue.

Our community program “Men’s Meals and Mental Health” was created to bring men together to break down the stigma, discrimination, myths and understanding in a safe and supportive environment.

That’s why Breakthrough is hosting the Biggest Men’s Meals and Mental Health event to allow more men to normalise the mental health conversation, and help fund vital research into suicide prevention.

For those attending the event on Thursday, 23 May, this is your space to set up a fundraising page to enable you to gather support towards Men's Mental Health. Set up your fundraising profile, and share with your friends and family.
