Despite being less likely to seek help, men are at the greatest risk of suicide. Blokes make up an average six out of every eight suicides every single day in Australia. One man committed to supporting men's mental health is this week's podcast guest, Dr. Zac Seidler.

Zac is a clinical psychologist, the Director of Health Professional Training at Movember and a Research Fellow with Orygen at The University of Melbourne. He has devoted the past 5 years to the goal of reducing the staggering male suicide rate, treating and researching men's mental health with over 25 published peer-reviewed articles.

Tune in to find out more about Zac's experience in men's mental health, how he defines masculinity and how he is creating the world's first online program to train mental health practitioners to engage men who are undertaking treatment.
