Men's Mental Health Books in Mackay, Queensland

The foundation everything else stands on. Written in Australia, read in Mackay, Queensland.

Six men a day in Australia die by suicide. Men account for about three quarters of all suicides nationally, and the figure has barely moved in two decades despite billions in funding. The leading risk factor was not a chemical, a virus or a car. It was silence. The Silverback's Guide to Being a Man is written for the bloke who has stood in front of the mirror at 4:17am and wondered if anyone would notice. They would. Don't. Available to every bloke in Mackay, Queensland tonight, as a PDF.

This is not therapy and it does not pretend to be. It is a conversation between two blokes about the things that actually matter, with the phone numbers you need printed in it. If you're in crisis right now, put the book down and call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
