[Dr. Zac Seidler @zacseidler]

I’m astounded at how tone deaf & dangerous some journalists can be when talking about a topic as complex as masculinity. Damning men for crying or caregiving like it’s the 50s is archaic. Masculinity comes in all shapes and sizes, we need them all. https://t.co/SpBjkJG0Vk

[Dr John Barry @MalePsychology]

Anxiety & depression tend to present different in men & women, says the Chair of the @UKCP_Updates. This means health professionals might not recognise the male-typical symptoms, so men's problems often go undiagnosed and untreated

A day to acknowledge families bereaved by suicide: their determination to protect others has been the decisive factor in giving #suicideprevention high profile it now has. #WSPD2019

[Suicide Prevention Australia @SuicidePrevAU]

Today is #WSPD2019. Suicide Prevention Australia remembers those we have lost to suicide and acknowledges the suffering suicide brings when it touches our lives. We are brought together by experience and unified by #hope.

[Rory O'Connor @suicideresearch]

At least 2,000 people will die by suicide across the globe today.

Although we should focus on suicide prevention every day, today is an important opportunity to raise the profile of suicide prevention globally and challenge stigma

I'll be on @2GB873 radio at 3pm to talk about @MovemberAUS new study showing that 1 in 3 men are weary talking about their mental health in the workplace. If we are to make changes in mental health outcomes, we need to go to where men are. Workplaces need to adapt asap.

[Movember UK @MovemberUK]

Every minute, somewhere in the world, a man dies by suicide. That’s 80 sons, husbands, brothers and fathers for every 80-minute game of the @rugbyworldcup.

[Dr. Zac Seidler @zacseidler]

Workplaces need to lead from the front in making men feel comfortable and safe sharing mental health issues at work. More to be done! Thanks for the chat @BenFordham @SydneyLive2GB

[Ben Fordham Live @BenFordhamLive]

NOW | New research from @MovemberAUS has revealed that 1 in 3 men fear their job could be at risk, if they discuss their mental health at work.
