Men’s
mental health faces more barriers locally in the Riverina and Central West. Men often struggle to reach out for support and opening up can be a sign of weakness.
Men
also have one of the highest completed suicide rates in regional areas driving these numbers up further. This is why it is imperative to
support men’s mental health.
Towns
like Cowra and Young often suffer also from a lack of services. This is why it can be useful to remember there are online therapies. Many men are regretful of the mistakes they have made.
Therapy
can often be longer term here due to the intergenerational issues that can come with trauma. Getting support can be a challenging thought but often it is not as scary as people first think.
