Man Anchor

Man Anchor was created in May 2017 with the hope to promote positive change in the way men addresses health and in particular, mental health. Over the years, Man Anchor has grown into a movement that supports both male and female mental well-being through education and awareness, with the launch of Woman Anchor in 2019. We believe that through our education and awareness programs we can empower the community to create positive change and a sustainable model to support the well-being of our friends, family and the wider community. At Man Anchor, we want to educate and empower the community to have tools to support their own well-being and that of the wider community. In Australia one in five (20%) Australians aged 16-85 experience a mental illness in any year. 45% of Australians will live with a mental health disorder in their lifetime. Suicide is the leading cause of death in males aged between 16-44. We at Man Anchor believe its imperative that all Australians have a basic understating of mental health, the signs and symptoms and how to support a loved one if faced with a mental illness.
