The Male Hug | Men's Mental Health |
Support Men's Mental Health
The Male Hug is an initiative that seeks to raise the awareness of men's mental health, and promote the open dialogue of this often sensitive issue.
Mental health is an issue that is becoming more prevalent, but continues to find degrees of negative stigma associated with it, particularly amongst men. We seek to tackle the stigma associated with men's mental health as it looks to take its place as a support service for men. Providing support & encouraging men to talk in a safe and friendly environment that is free of judgement.
The Male Hug founder is Tony Rabah, an Accountant, Business advisor and member of the IPA from Melbourne Australia. His service to his clients for over 25 years has given Tony an insight into not only their financial matters but also into their personal lives and the mental consequences of financial hardship. Over the years many of Tony's clients have turned to him for not only financial advice but solace in the face of mental struggles.
One of the greatest challenges of men's mental health is their inability to talk openly about such personal issues for fear of shame or sense of less worth. As an illness that is widespread but still in the shadows, Tony believed he should do something about it. Tony's initiative calls for men to gather in a safe and friendly environment to talk openly without judgement on mental health issues. This safe and friendly environment seeks to create a timeout space for men to relax and open up about issues of mental health without fear of reprisal or judgement.
It is on the back of the above that desire to do something was not only a goal of Tony's but more generally a necessity hence The Male Hug was formed.
