About this episode

The episode discusses the Better Bloke Project's accreditation to deliver Mental Health First Aid training and the importance of effective communication in mental health awareness.

We are now accredited to deliver Mental Health First Aid training in-house, we discuss what this means for the future of the program and why we believe mental health doesn’t have an awareness problem, it has a communication problem. We unpack how The Better Bloke Project aims to bridge that gap by delivering training and conversations in a way that actually resonates with everyday blokes. It's not all heavy though, we also chat about coffee breaks, shitbox cars, social media outrage, and why negative content often gets more attention than the things that genuinely help people. If you’re interested in Mental Health First Aid training for yourself, your workplace, sporting club or community group, or would like to support the First Responder Program, reach out to us at hello@betterblokeproject.org Help us help the blokes who need it: https://www.betterblokeproject.org/pages/donate-now Find us on socials: https://www.instagram.com/betterblokeproject/ https://www.facebook.com/thebetterblokeproject/ https://www.tiktok.com/@betterblokeproject
