FTA:

The day is designed to raise awareness around men’s mental health and aims to encourage listeners to speak up if they’re struggling or reach out to others whom they suspect could be.

From 6am to 6pm on Thursday, there will be no regular radio shows or news or traffic or ads. Instead, there will just be candid conversations with Triple M presenters and guest stars such as Dave Grohl around mental health.

I wish my Dad was alive to hear this.

He was a Triple M listener through and through and sadly lost his life to depression.

Rock on everyone.

Here is one place to listen to this radio station online, if anyone is interested.

Note, I am not affiliated with this radio station in any way at all.

Here's a link to their promotion.

From that last link...

Every day in Australia, six men die by suicide. It's the leading cause of death for men aged 18-44.

Sometimes men don't talk about what is affecting them, which is why on Triple M's No Talk Day, right across Australia, we're not talking. We want you to have that important conversation with the people who matter to you. It might be the most important chat you ever have.

We know it’s not always easy to know what to say. Below, we've worked with our mates at to give you some tips for approaching that difficult, but important, conversation.

Have you noticed a mate, colleague or family member behaving differently? Do they not seem their usual self?

Many people will be hesitant to start a conversation out of fear of causing offence or making things worse, not wanting to get involved or not being sure how to respond.

You don’t need to have all the answers – just by being supportive and listening, you’re helping to make a difference.

Again, I'm not affiliated with this in any way. I just think it's a good thing for men to talk when they need to and I support it completely.

Well, we've talked about it and now they're doing it. Showing people what the world is like without the men, and the things they do for everyone. Without the radio programs they expect people will get irritated at losing something they take for granted every day. I wonder how many will keep listening?

This is wonderful, I am glad people are finally acting on men’s issues.
