💙 Last Tuesday, we came together for an important conversation about men’s mental health and su***de prevention 🫂
With men accounting for around 75% of su***des in Australia, knowing how to recognise when someone might be struggling and feeling confident enough to start the conversation is a skill every future doctor needs 🩺
We were so lucky to hear from three incredible speakers:
🌹 Bronwen Edwards from Roses in the Ocean, who shared her powerful lived experience and insights into how lived experience can shape the way we approach su***de prevention.
🩺 Dr Nadja, a GP Registrar with a background in Emergency Medicine, who shared practical advice on recognising risk, starting conversations and providing inclusive, patient-centred care.
🧠 Dr James O’Brien, a Psychiatric Registrar, who shared his clinical perspective and experience on supporting patients with mental health difficulties and su***de risk.
From lived experience to the clinic, we explored how we can start the conversation, recognise the signs and use the skills that can save lives.
A huge thank you to our amazing speakers and everyone who came along, asked questions and helped make this such a meaningful evening 💙 Griffith Psychiatry Society
