Men Feeling Blue

​Men in Schools
Mental Health Project
​2018

Pre-launch offer to Australian schools

Following on from the success of the Women in Schools Mental Health Project - 2017, MONED has created the Men in Schools Mental Health Project - 2018.

This comprehensive program aims to assist male leaders and teachers to cope with the pressures of working in Australian schools.  Stress and burnout amongst men in Australian schools is at epidemic proportions.  Most men chose to ignore the symptoms, but the wellbeing of everyone associated with a schools requires all men to be emotionally literate and healthy.

Men and women experience mental health problems in roughly equal numbers. However, men are much less likely to be diagnosed and treated for a mental health condition and the consequences of this can be fatal.
While women will make use of their social networks and friendships, men don’t have the same level of social support.  Men don’t want to be seen as weak they don’t seek out the support they need.
Research suggests men often turn to alcohol or illegal drug use to help them cope with their problems.
What affects the mental health of men?
Major life events – good and bad can have an impact on our emotional health. The top the list for men are job security, work and money.
Suicide
More men than women die by suicide – with the highest rates in males between the ages of 30 and 44, but the rate in those aged 45 to 54 has also significantly increased.
Helping men
Many men find it difficult to ask for help when they are depressed or have a mental health issue because they think they will be seen as weak or having failed.
Men sometimes find it helpful to see depression as a result of chemical changes in the brain and/or as the result of living in a demanding and stressful world.
Men can get help more easily if people recognise their particular needs. For instance, a man who is depressed is more likely to talk about his physical symptoms than his feelings and this sometimes masks the underlying issue.
