Dwayne is a retired stonemason who’s childhood trauma went unaddressed until much later in life. After losing his ability to earn a living due to a work injury, Dwayne was finally forced to deal with his mental health issues so he could be a healthy and available father for his daughter. Local heroes, community leaders, the mate that lives across the road. In a bid to tackle male suicide and the stigma surrounding men’s mental health, We Are Men is a community of real men talking about their real struggles. These men are opening up and discussing their mental health so other blokes can too, without the fear of shame or exclusion. It can be hard to ask for help but no man needs to struggle alone. Through our video stories, podcast, app (Onlyhuman) and highlighting of local services, we hope to encourage all men to chat about what they’re going through and seek help.This series of We Are Men is funded by the Country SA PHN<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
