Pulling the Mental Health ‘Fire Alarm’ | Workplace Mental Health When someone shouts fire in a workplace, there’s an expectation that a designated person will be able to outline the next steps to manage everyone’s safety.

If you've noticed someone in your life behaving differently (e.g. withdrawing, seeming angrier or more agitated, drinking more than usual) it could be an important time to connect and have a conversation.

Our focus during Men's Health Week acknowledged that because men are often taught to suppress their feelings, it can be difficult to recognise when they are experiencing a mental health crisis or feeling suicidal.

Agitation, anger and violence, increased risk taking and increased self-destructive behaviours are the more typical signs of suicidal thoughts in men, but these same signs can also present in people of all genders. If you’re concerned about the changes in a person’s usual behaviours, a mental health first aid conversation may be needed.
