Men's Mental Health Awareness Gala

My dearest friend, Dr Jim Skivalides, has been relentless in his pursuit to

bring attention to, support and awareness to men’s mental health and the costly effect when we don’t pay attention, when they feel alone whatever the circumstances. We can’t walk in someone’s shoes. We walk in our own. Male suicide in on the rise- fathers, husbands and sons.

Look around, 3 degrees of separation.

Who do you know that suffers in silence, or has taken their life?

Who do you know that deserves to have a chance?

To know it’s going to be ok. They are not alone.

I’m Just A Man 3- November 22nd on the night of Michael Hutchence

anniversary of his death.

Come along show your support and let’s continue the conversation.
