Men’s mental health is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of overall wellbeing. In Australia, approximately 43% of men have experienced a mental health problem at some point in their lives (AIHW, 2020). This includes veterans, who often face unique challenges in adjusting to civilian life and managing their mental health.
At GoodMind Therapeutics, we’re committed to breaking the stigma, fostering open conversations, and providing innovative, person-centred care—especially for men and veterans. Our Clinician-Guided Programs are designed for eligible individuals seeking additional support beyond conventional approaches.
Why Men’s Mental Health Needs More Attention
Men often face societal pressures that discourage them from seeking help, contributing to a higher risk of severe mental health challenges. For veterans, these issues are often compounded by unique experiences that call for specialised, respectful care. Suicide remains the leading cause of death for Australian men aged 15 to 44, with veterans being particularly vulnerable (AIHW, 2020).
At GoodMind Therapeutics, we support men through professionally delivered, clinician-guided care—designed to meet individual needs with compassion and structure. Our multidisciplinary approach helps men feel more supported in navigating their mental health and reconnecting with a sense of wellbeing.
Practical Steps to Support Men’s Mental Health
1. Talk About It
Talking about mental health is the first step to breaking the stigma. Checking in with a friend, family member, or professional can provide essential support.
2. Focus on Mental and Physical Fitness
Engage in activities that strengthen both mental and physical health. Programs like Gotcha4Life’s Mental Fitness Gym help build the skills needed to navigate life’s challenges and local community groups that offer group fitness classes (some are veteran focussed as well), will offer you a chance to move and connect.
3. Seek Professional Guidance
When conventional approaches haven’t been effective, exploring professionally delivered support may offer a new pathway forward. At GoodMind Therapeutics, we provide comprehensive screening and clinician-guided care designed to meet the unique needs of men and veterans.
