Save Aussie Men

The Australian Men’s Health Forum is calling on the Morrison Government to develop a national plan to tackle male suicide in Australia. 

AHMF invite you to join this campaign by writing a message of support to the Prime Minister (send a message by clicking here)

Over 75% of male suicides are men, but the majority of suicide prevention services the Government funds are shown to largely address female suicide risk factors. 

Suicide prevention strategies in Australia don’t take into account the differences between men’s and women’s experiences of suicide. 

They don’t account for the fact that male suicides are more often linked to relationship problems, money issues, job loss and alcohol abuse.
