Consider what being a ‘man’ means to you and what is important. Resist any pressure to take risks to ‘prove’ your manhood. Be honest with yourself about what you need to stay mentally and physically healthy.

Be self-aware of your mental health. Men can find it difficult to consider their own feelings and worries, or talk about them with friends or family. Bottling up fear, depression, anger or worry is not healthy and is what drives high male suicide rates. Seek counselling if you need it.

If you live or work in a dangerous area, seek out training in communications, first aid, personal security and defensive driving. There are many resources that can help you manage your risk. Some will be mentioned at the end of the course.

In becoming more self-aware and making your own life safer, understand how your behaviour and biases can put other people at risk. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
