Why men's mental health?
Breakthrough is a for-purpose organisation dedicated to funding research into mental health. Our mission is to advance mental health through funding breakthrough research, fostering community engagement and empowering individuals and organisation through mental health literacy and education to create lasting change.
A key area of our focus is Suicide prevention, which is a critical issue affecting men in our community. As the sobering statistics below will show you.
7 of the 9 lives lost to suicide every day in Australia are men
43% of men will experience a mental illness in their life
A quarter of men say they would not seek help from anyone if they were struggling
With this in mind, we will be using all proceeds from the Men’s Meals and Mental Health event, to fund research in Suicide Prevention in Men’s Mental Health. We would love your support.
