NRL greats Braith Anasta and Kieran Foran throw their support behind SANE’s Better Off With You campaign

“I don’t want to see any young man or any male for that matter going through it alone.” - Braith Anasta

This International Men’s Day (19 November), NRL greats Braith Anasta and Kieran Foran showed their support for SANE’s Better Off With You campaign – an evidence-informed suicide prevention and mental health resource to help men in NSW stay in the game with their mental health and help prevent more lives being lost to suicide.
Both Anasta and Foran’s lives have sadly been touched by suicide and mental health challenges, and they want to normalise conversations about mental health among men to encourage others to seek help. Both Anasta and Foran open up about their experience with mental health, stigma and difficulties men face when speaking out, and the role that exercise can play in maintaining good mental health. You can read more about their stories here.

Better Off With You unpacks the warning signs that men should look out for that their mental health might be struggling, providing evidence-based advice on the actions they can take to find support for themselves or a mate who might be at risk of suicide.

It shares practical tools to help men check in with their mates and themselves, to get ahead of issues before they become bigger problems and take meaningful steps towards better mental health.

Here on the forums, we want to keep the conversation going and will be sharing some lived experience videos across the next week from men who’ve been through tough patches and found ways through. They share what helped, what didn’t, and the small steps that made a big difference.

Be sure to check back here, but in the meantime, you can check out the campaign videos and resources here.

Suicide Call Back Service: 1300 659 467 suicidecallbackservice.org.au

@rav3n I thank Sane for teaching me how recognise the signs of being worn out, and what to do when it happens. It's the lovely support team like yourself that I have great admiration for because y'all have helped me navigate my way through my emotions and I am a lot better at stepping back with respect ❤️ 🌹🌹❤️
