U alright mate

Our mission is to raise the awareness of the need for men to talk. Asking the question "u alright mate?" Could open up a conversation and potentially save a life. Vision: * To educate the community to better understand the implications and affects of stress, anxiety and depression, especially amongst men. Men need to realise and understand that they can speak up and express their feelings and emotions. The stigma attached to " men don't cry " or " what are you whinging about ?" needs to change. Asking the question " u alright mate?" will help and encourage men to talk. "U alright mate?" is not a counselling service.
