Stuff You Should Know About Suicide | Professor Nicholas Procter

You hear about mental illness and suicide a lot more these days, especially if you follow this podcast; but are things actually getting better or worse?

We live in a time with more awareness and acceptance of mental health issues than ever, yet it's not obvious all the attention is moving the needle in the right direction.
Young Blood exists to share the stories of everyday men, and that won't change; but my guest today brings us the facts and a unique perspective you won't find anywhere else.

Professor Nicholas Procter is Australia's representative to the International Association for Suicide Prevention Council, he literally wrote the textbook for mental health education in this country, and has dedicated his long career to mental health research.In other words, he is the man when it comes to suicide prevention...

In this conversation, you'll learn what's at the core of so many men taking their lives, and the progress our society is actually making in this area. We'll cover what does and doesn't work for men in managing our mental health; the impact of suicide bereavement on those left behind, and is the truly system broken? Find out on the Young Blood Expert's Series.
