About this Event

Men are suffering from poor mental health
  • 45% of men will experience some form of mental health challenge in their life,1 in 8 will experience depression, and 1 in 5 will experience anxiety.
  • Suicide is the number 1 cause of death for Australian males aged 14-44, and of the 9 suicides per day, 7 are men.


Our conversation space

Mentoring Men are teaming up with the University of Adelaide for Mental Health Awareness Month in order to raise awareness of the mental health struggles that men experience.

Our conversation space is a free and safe environment for those who are thinking of wanting to engage with a mentor, those who would like to become a mentor themselves, or for anyone who is interested in what we do.

We will have a short presentation about who Mentoring Men are, what our mission and goals are, how we can connect you to a mentor or how we can train you to become one yourself. We will then have an informal conversation space where everyone is encouraged to interact with each other in a nonjudgemental, authentic and caring way. An interactive artwork will form the foundation of this conversation space and will serve to inspire conversation and reflection.

We hope to see you there!


**Although this event is primarily aimed at men's health, women and persons identifying as other genders are encouraged to attend.


Who are Mentoring Men?<blockquote>"Our mission is to support men in their life journey."</blockquote>

Mentoring Men is a registered Australian charity providing free long-term one-to-one life mentoring programs for men Australia wide. We focus on a proactive approach, engaging with Australian men who need help before they spiral into crisis.

We do this by providing free one-to-one mentoring through non-judgemental support, encouragement and a listening ear. Our screened and qualified volunteer male Mentors are professionally trained to focus on the needs of the individual and to accept men as they are.

We welcome all men to engage with our mentoring programs and strive to be as diverse as the communities we serve and work within. Currently our Mentors collectively speak over 57 languages.
