Many men are brought up associating emotions with weakness and stoicism with strength. "Walk it off." "Eat some concrete." "Harden up." "I'll give you something to cry about." Men are expected to be the rocks that stand defiantly against the storm, no matter what.

Brain health is for everyone, at every stage of life. Brain Awareness Week encourages a proactive approach – focusing on practical steps to support brain health, reduce risk, and recognise symptoms earlier.

On Safer Internet Day, we are reminded that while we cannot eliminate risk entirely, we can help children build confidence, resilience, and safety online through collaboration, education, and support. By combining practical strategies with emotional support, parents can help ensure that online games remain a source of fun, creativity, and connection without compromising mental wellbeing.

October is Mental Health Awareness Month in Australia — a nationwide initiative dedicated to increasing understanding, reducing stigma, and encouraging open conversations about mental health.
