SYNOPSIS
The stereotypical Aussie man is strong, stoic and tough as nails. He laughs in the face of fear; and if life ever gets him down he drinks a cup of concrete and hardens the fuck up. But with male suicide rates three times that of women, it appears the pressure to harden up may be making some men crack. Enter Gus Worland, co-host of the Sydney Triple M Grill team and unofficial bloke expert. He’s not a shrink, but he talks, and listens, to men everyday for a living; and he genuinely cares about their welfare. A few years back Gus’ was devastated by the loss of a close mate to suicide. Now Gus in on a mission to find out what it really means to be a man today and how the average Aussie bloke is actually faring.
A fantastic video showing two guys bond in the farming community. Men can indeed be stoic, and farmers possibly even more so at times, so it’s great to see awareness being brought into this particular community that is known for higher suicide rates. Bringing awareness to male suicide and men’s mental health in general, is one way I feel we will get more men talking. As it’s only when they realise that it’s ok to talk, that they will.
Solid logic.
Really digging what this guy has to say.
No flowery emotions, no pity parties, no self loathing, no running around a room ranting, just straight up man talk, clearing a path that is both real and comfortable for men to walk.
Reminds me of my dad. This is what we are missing.
