Men’s mental health and wellbeing

Men are often taught to stay strong no matter what adversity they face in life. But dreams of resettlement in Australia can sometimes crumble when emotions get out of control and family relationships fall apart. Experts say sharing your feelings isn’t a weakness but a sign of strength.

Establishing a good life in Australia is a dream shared by many newcomers to the country. 

But that dream can face barriers or end up in relationship breakdowns. Settlement Services International project coordinator Jessica Harkins runs the Building Stronger Families program in partnership with Relationships Australia in New South Wales for men over the age of 18 who have used violence or abusive behaviours in a domestic relationship. 

She explains that men’s behaviour change programs have been running in Australia for the past twenty years but to ensure that no one is left behind, culturally tailored programs are starting to be made available to help men navigate changes in Australia.
