Every day, nine Australians take their own life.\u00a0On average, seven of those are men*.<\/p>\n
In support of men\u2019s mental health, on Monday 1 July microphones across Triple M\u2019s 49 radio stations around Australia will stay switched off for the network\u2019s annual\u00a0No Talk Day<\/strong>, creating space for listeners to check-in with themselves and their mates. In a further strengthening of No Talk Day, this year Triple M has partnered with Lifeline to build awareness and encourage fundraising for this vital national service.<\/p>\n Now in its sixth year, No Talk Day will see Triple M pause all shows, announcers and ads, along with all news and traffic reports, between 6am and 6pm, as a reminder to make mental health a priority and encourage listeners to start a conversation for themselves or with someone they care about. If listeners don\u2019t feel comfortable talking to someone close, they can always turn to Lifeline.<\/p>\n Shaun Gough, Triple M Melbourne Content Manager and joint founding No Talk Day advocate, understands it takes courage to talk about mental health.<\/p>\n \u201cTriple M\u2019s No Talk Day is an important opportunity to remind our listeners across the country it\u2019s all right to not feel all right, to prioritise their own mental health and to start a conversation with someone they care about. We stop talking to encourage our audience to start talking,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know that of all the people in Australia who take their own lives, three in four are men*. But we also know that having a conversation matters and could possibly save a life.<\/p>\n \u201cWith Lifeline on board for No Talk Day this year, we hope to foster more conversations and encourage our listeners to reach out, either for themselves or someone they love.\u201d<\/p>\n Dr Ally\u00a0Nicolopoulos, Wellbeing Lead at Lifeline, reminds listeners that they can access support through Lifeline\u00a024 hours a day in a way that feels most comfortable for them.<\/p>\n \u201cAt Lifeline, we understand that every Australian who listens to Triple M will have their own mental\u00a0health journey and will have their own preferences on how to reach out for support. It\u2019s okay if you don\u2019t\u00a0quite know what to say, or how to say it. The first step is just knowing that someone is there, and Lifeline\u00a0is always here,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cAt any time through the day or night you can call us on 13 11 14, chat with us online at\u00a0lifeline.org.au\/crisis-chat<\/a>\u00a0or send us a text on 0477 13 11 14.
