'Mentoring Men' organisation aims to help Australian men with mental health issues | Sky News AustraliaFounder of Mentoring Men Ian Westmoreland has called on Australian men 'to be honest with their emotions and seek help' in an aim of improving the mental health for males around the nation. \n\nSuicide is the leading killer of men under the age off 55-years. \n\nMentoring Men is a not-for-profit organisation which aims to raise awareness of male mental health issues while providing a free life mentoring program for men in the nation. \n\nMr Westmoreland said there is a 'reluctance of men to get engaged' and seek out help when they are facing mental health issues. \n\nMr Westmoreland told Sky News that often it is women who will approach the organisation and seek out help for the men in their lives who may be struggling. \n\nImage: Getty \n\nAnyone who may be feeling distressed can contact the following organisations for support.\n\nSANE Helpline 1800 18 72 63\n\nLifeline 131 114\n\nBeyond blue 1300 22 4636 Great initiative. Going to try and make it down to Narrabeen Lake on a Thursday night go for a mentoring walk. Who can you call to stop Feminist bullying and oppression? Who can you call to stop the Victorian Police saying violence is a ‘male problem’? Who can you call to stop diversity hires taking the job that you deserved? The recent QandA segment made it clear that the Feminist Sisterhood hate men and are trying to destroy men, including through violent means. PC laws & regulations reinforce the oppression of men. We are at war, men need to wake up & fight back, not bend over and see a shrink.
