19 May Men’s mental health and help seeking
On Thursday May 18 I spoke, briefly, to TripleM radio about the importance of men seeking help for mental ill-health. This interview took place in the aftermath of one of the NRL’s highest profile players, Greg Inglis, admitting himself to a treatment facility for depression. It’s so important that we SMASH THE STIGMA associated with psychological distress and treat mental health problems the same way we treat physical health problems. They’re NOT a sign of weakness or failing; just a sign that something’s not right and that help is required. This recording is only a few minutes long but I hope it might help someone out there reach out and ask for help rather than suffering unnecessarily in silence and isolation. So please share if and when appropriate. Thank you
