1 in 2 Australian men have had a mental health problem at some point in their lives. And 80% of Australia’s suicides are men. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. Yet sadly the men of Australia aren’t talking about it. 

 

Which is why tradies Ed Ross and Dan Allen decided to create Trademutt - bright and colourful workwear to start a conversation about mens’ mental health. Demi Lynch reports.

Trademutt is currently working with “This Is A Conversation Starter” by pairing musicians with comedians to write songs about mental health. One song will be released each day during Mental Health Week in October.
