Background

About Glen Poole

I’m an international speaker and media commentator on men's issues and founder of the Stop Male Suicide project. Currently CEO of the Australian Men's Health Forum. I have a vision of a future where gender is no barrier to people living meaningful lives; a world where every individual is just one conversation away from whatever help and support they need. Having worked in the world of men’s issues in the UK and Australia for 20 years, my primary concern is closing the gender suicide gap. Suicide kills six Australian men a day and costs the economy an estimated $13.75B a year. We know suicide is preventable. We know that men are three times more likely to take their own lives. and we know that most approaches to suicide prevention are more effective at helping women. The Stop Male Suicide project gives people the skills, knowledge and wisdom they need to take action to Stop Male Suicide by providing events, training and other resources like our book: How You Can STOP MALE SUICIDE in Seven Simple Steps. If you want to get involved with our work or find out more about our work then visit our website today. Currently working on a rebrand and relaunch of our offer for late 2019.
