Victorian Aboriginal Health Service – VAHS Website
Men’s Health Unit Support For Aboriginal Men And Their Families…
Our Case managers are advocates who help clients understand their current life and health status, what they can do about it and why getting support and treatment is important. In this way, our case managers are there to help motivate by guiding clients and providing cohesion with other professionals to enable our clients to achieve their goals more effectively and timely.
The wellbeing staff can help with support for clients in maintaining quality of life and independent living as a priority. Wellbeing is defined as a state in which every man realises his own potential, cope with the normal stresses of life, and is able to make a contribution to his family and community.
See website for locations.

Melbourne’s population is just under 4.5 million, 49% (!?) are blokes, Men & Boys, mostly trying to make a “better” world for themselves AND others. Here is a group of roughly a dozen men who meet up on a voluntary level to glean from a passionate professional… including a passionate “sister” of a brother who died from suicide.
See here: Facebook/Build-A-Brotherhood.
Peta Kerryn statement:
I lost my brother to suicide which made me realize the lack of support for men’s mental health. We are trying to build a brotherhood to help put an end to men suffering in silence. Men who do not know one another coming together to build a brotherhood. Hosted by myself and a trained family therapist/drug and alcohol counsellor wanting to put a stop to men suffering in silence…
