AASW Recording | Keeping Men in Mind: Understanding and responding to male suicidality and distress

Over 60% of men who die by suicide have been in contact with mental health services prior to their death. As therapists, when men come through our door, we need to ensure we're offering therapy that meets them where they're at. The aim of this webinar is to increase therapists' awareness, skills and confidence to engage, connect with, and respond more effectively to their male clients.

This webinar was presented by the AASW NSW Branch.
