S2 Episode 5 (Part B): The glossy facade of the NDIS and men’s mental health

Disclaimer: This episode will contain mentions of mental health and trauma, suicide and suicidal ideation, and institutional abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode, Jean and Moira talk about men’s mental health, toxic masculinity, and the challenges within the NDIS scheme. Moira shares her perspectives on how societal expectations oppress men and how these contribute to issues like violence towards women, high rates of suicidal risk, systemic challenges for young people and people with disability. Jean and Moira also touch on the gaps in accessing the NDIS and the challenges faced by individuals navigating the system. They advocate for a more comprehensive, compassionate, and understanding approach to mental health practice on an individual and systemic level.
