Telehealth counselling isn’t a “second-best” option.
The evidence says it works.

Research consistently shows that online counselling is as effective as face-to-face therapy for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and stress with the added benefit of flexibility and accessibility.

For many men, telehealth removes barriers:
– No travel
– No waiting rooms
– No taking time off work
– Support that fits real life

If your head’s been busy, heavy, or stuck in overdrive, help doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective.

Overthinking: What’s Happening in Your Brain (and How to Stop It)

Overthinking: What’s Happening in Your Brain and How to Stop It

Domestic & family violence in Australia is serious — and the data matters.
Here are three truths the evidence shows:
🔹 23% of women have experienced partner violence since age 15.
🔹 7.3% of men (≈1 in 14) have also experienced partner violence (ABS 2021–22).
🔹 AIHW data indicate that around 17% of recorded family violence victims are male.

When we look specifically at male victims of partner violence, ABS data show that a significant proportion report a female perpetrator. That does not diminish the reality that women experience higher rates of severe and injurious violence — but it does remind us that violence is not one-directional.

Domestic violence is like the heart.
It has two ventricles, left and right. Both must be functioning for the system to work effectively. If we only acknowledge one side, the whole system becomes distorted.

Different datasets measure different things:
• Survey-reported lifetime partner violence (ABS)
• Police-recorded family violence (AIHW)

Definitions matter. Context matters. Precision matters.
Acknowledging male victimisation does not minimise women’s suffering.
Recognising female perpetration does not erase male accountability.

If we want real prevention and safer families, we must be capable of holding the full picture, not just the parts that suit our narrative.

Support my challenge to prevent veteran su***de and save lives
Right now in Australia, at 42%, su***de is the leading cause of death for ex-serving males aged under 30 years old.

So, this March, I am walking to support Soldier On's mental health services and programs to help prevent veteran su***de and save lives.

It would mean so much to me if you donated to support my challenge so that we can show veterans and their families that they are not alone... we stand strong with them.

Together, let's help our heroes march on.

Thanks so much for your support.
