Males traditionally are deemed hesitant to open up about their feelings, but mental-health organisations are now hoping fathers can lead the way.
Suicide is the biggest killer of young people in Australia, and young men are at the greater risk.
The 2015 Australian Bureau of Statistics report on causes of death shows young Australian men are three times more likely to commit suicide than young Australian women.
Statistics show only 13 per cent of young men seek help for their mental health.
That has led the mental-health organisation Headspace to launch its Fathers campaign, hoping to encourage fathers to talk more openly with their sons about mental-health issues.
SBS Korean program has more.
