Mental Health Special – Health and Medicine

Lost Boys – Georgina Barker

Men’s health issues are responsible for many of society’s greatest ills. So how prevalent is the problem in WA, and what’s being done to address it?

Men of the Midwest – Anna Christensen

With the men in WA’s most remote communities often forced to face their mental and physical health issues in isolation, one intrepid organisation is offering much needed support.

Men’s Health Report Card – Men’s Health Peer Education Magazine

Australian men are more likely than Australian women to get sick from serious health problems. Compared to women, men visit the doctor less frequently, have shorter visits and only attend when their illness is in its later stages.

One Man’s Journey – David Hogan

From ancient times the emotional and spiritual transition from boy to man, reconciling the tension between humanity and duty, has been viewed as integral to a healthy soul and a healthy society. Today too many boys and men have missed this education, resulting in a community filled with angry kids, emotionally absent husbands and fathers, and men living desperately unhappy lives. If you need proof, look at the latest statistics on suicide, depression, crime, alcohol, drugs, and sexual and domestic violence towards women and kids. We need to start talking now…

Rite of Passage – Bethany Hiatt, The Weekend West

Simple rituals aim to give Year 9s a positive pathway into adulthood.

Speaking Up for Men’s Health – Larraine Sathicq, Good Health Magazine

It’s Movember again. The time of year we all get together for the health of our men.

The men’s health gap – Peter Baker, Shari L Dworkin, Sengfah Ton, Ian Banks, Tim Shand & Gavin Yamey

In most parts of the world, health out¬comes among boys and men continue to be substantially worse than among girls and women, yet this gender-based disparity in health has received little national, regional or global acknowl¬edgement or attention from health policy-makers or health-care provid¬ers. Including both women and men in efforts to reduce gender inequalities in health as part of the post-2015 sustain¬able development agenda would im¬prove everyone’s health and well-being.

Where to turn for help – SCOOP Spring 2013

The current State Government has invested significant time and money in mental health. 2010, WA became the first state to establish a Mental Health Commission, with a separate budget and the appointment of a commissioner and WA’s first Minister for Health to implement reform. Some states followed quickly and some are following now. Still, many people don’t know where to turn for help.
