It’s important to talk about mental health and suicide from a young age. We keep repeating this, because the idea that young people aren’t ready for such serious subjects continues to circulate. In our experience, this wrong. 1/6 #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

Mateship and support epitomises the values of the ANZAC Legend. Through the toughest of times, the connection of Mateship remains.

Lest We Forget. Reach out to those around you, continue the connections.

In our experience, we also cannot undervalue the importance of teaching and developing the skills around checking in and holding space at an early age. Youth is where attitudes and habits form. #mentalhealth #youngmenshealth

The young men we #mentor are in the midst of developing lifelong friendships or finding new crowds after recognising negative influences, so we talk a lot about the points in this article. By helping them build strong networks, we can help them maintain positive #mentalhealth.

Having a strong circle of people around you is one of the single most beneficial ways to maintain your mental health. Here’s how you can grow social connections from the past, present and future: https://t.co/oTNIrdcJxk

Exam periods can bring up a range of different emotions, including stress, anger and anxiety. We need to support and encourage our students!

Best of luck to all students during exam periods! You’ve got this! We’ve got you! 💚

How can we prevent male suicide? Well, data reliably tells us that in young men, alcohol dependence = 10x risk of suicide attempt vs gen pop & problem gambling = 15x risk. These are fundamentally health issues and governments need to stand up to the alcohol & gambling lobby now.

A giant of a legacy to leave behind. Passion, commitment, consistency, happiness, and a desire to help others achieve the same. Vale Pele.

A inspiração e o amor marcaram a jornada de Rei Pelé, que faleceu no dia de hoje.

Absolutely stoked to be at @ICAPCharityDay with @MrTimRobards and @Joe_Hildebrand raising much-needed funds for youth mentoring programs to help young men improve their mental health and build healthy relationships. #mentalhealth #mentoring #ICAPCharityDay

[Top Blokes Foundation @Top_Blokes]

Every day, our Mentors use their own lived experiences to help connect with, educate, and upskill young men, supporting them to improve their #mentalhealth and build healthy relationships. Thank you to our Mentors who continue to do such incredible work. #InternationalMensDay

@RJ_Goodthings You’re an absolute legend RJ, thanks for wearing the vest again this year!

While it's great to see such a comprehensive plan out in the world, this is still too heavily focused on the role and responsibility of women and services to respond. We need a plan focused on male perpetration, geared toward upstream prevention & at its very core, accountability

@MovemberAUS have announced Top Blokes as a recipient of their Scaling What Works grant, which aims to supercharge promising male mental health initiatives. We’ll be expanding our Mentoring Programs to boys in schools on the Sunshine Coast over the next 2 years. #mentalhealth

[Top Blokes Foundation @Top_Blokes]

@zacseidler 100%. Mental health is an important and oftentimes serious topic, but not something to fear. This plays into the same false notion of “talking about suicide encourages suicide”, which makes topics like this taboo again, with repercussions for those openly talking about it.

[Top Blokes Foundation @Top_Blokes]

@RedOpz_ That's brilliant 💪 keep us updated

🔴Know this BEFORE YOU POST.🔴
Your posts WILL be seen by more people than will react to, comment on or share them. Once it's on #socialmedia, you have no control over what others do with your content. It's an important topic we talk to the boys in our mentoring programs about.

1. To understand Iran's protests it's striking to juxtapose images of the young, modern women killed in Iran over the last week (Mahsa Amini, Ghazale Chelavi, Hanane Kia, Mahsa Mogoi) with the images of the country's ruling elite, virtually all deeply traditional, geriatric men.
