Men's Mental Health Month runs all through June, and it's a fair reason to slow down and talk about something the trades don't talk about enough.
We sat down with Jevyn from Mens Talk on the Hypotential podcast to get into what's really going on for blokes on the tools. The pressure, the long days, the habit of saying you're fine when you're not.
This one matters to us. The people behind our vans at Smartfix are husbands, dads, mates and sons, and looking out for each other shouldn't wait for a bad week.
Mens Talk is an Australian not-for-profit organisation dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounding men's mental health. Through conversations, education and community support, they encourage men to prioritise their mental wellbeing and build healthier habits, helping create a future where talking about mental health is normal. Give them a follow at Mens Talk AU and have a listen to the full chat with Jevyn.
