WHO ARE WE?
GUEST SPEAKER TOM BOYD
An amazing event today for MMG!
Today we had former AFL premiership winner Tom Boyd share his journey through his playing career and how he navigated mental health challenges throughout. Tom’s talk was inspiring and it was great to hear men say they got a lot from his presentation.
There were some hard truths revealed and some laughs and encouragement along the way.

IT’S TIME TO TAKE ACTION.
The statistics are scary.
Men make up an average seven out of every nine suicides every single day in Australia.
The number of men who die by suicide in Australia every year is nearly double the national road toll.
The rate of hospitalisation from mental health conditions increases with remoteness, rural and remote areas were 11 and 26 per cent higher respectively when compared with metropolitan areas.
ATSI people (two thirds of whom live in rural, regional or remote areas) are almost three times as likely as non-Indigenous people to report high or very high levels of psychological distress.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN OUR COMMUNITY
All men are welcome!
Feeling and showing emotion doesn’t make you less of a man, it makes you human.
