Last week we hosted our inaugural Men’s Mental Health Luncheon, a powerful and inspiring afternoon dedicated to raising awareness and breaking the stigma surrounding men’s mental health.
We were fortunate to have Darren Jolly (AFL royalty, premiership player and reality TV star) join us as our guest speaker, sharing his personal journey and shining a light on the importance of open conversations, support networks, and seeking help when it’s needed most. Darren then joined us in our office afterwards for a few drinks/nibbles with some of our nearest and dearest colleagues to continue the discussion…….in amongst a few Collingwood and “The Block” war stories.
This event brought us together to connect, listen, and support one another reminding us that no one has to face their challenges alone.
This special day marks the commencement to SMB Advisory’s ongoing commitment to raising both awareness and well needed funds in aid of mental health research. All funds raised (in this and future endeavours) go towards supporting the incredible work of the Black Dog Institute, helping to fund free education, su***de prevention initiatives, and innovative mental health care.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, contributed, and helped make the day such a success.
If you couldn’t make it but would like to support, donations can still be made via our donation link.
