Expert Insights for Health Professionals: Reconceptualising approaches to men’s mental health and suicidality.

This Expert Insights session will focus on men's mental health and the rise in international male suicide rates. 

 Dr Zac Seidler will share his research on men's mental health which has looked at shifting how we understand, approach, respond to, and treat men's distress by creating mental health services and therapeutic approaches that specifically take masculinity into account. Our conversation will explore the perspective and insights from the voice of lived experience as well as of those of a clinician who works closely with men. Join us for a conversation about ways to better understand and respond to men's distress so that together we can enhance mental health in men.

Zac Seidler: Senior Research Fellow at Orygen - University of Melbourne, Director of Mental Health Training at Movember, Honorary Research Fellow at Black Dog Institute, Clinical Psychologist.
