Men in Mind for Primary Health Care
Sometimes you’re the only clinician he talks to.
Men in Mind for Primary Care is free, evidence-informed training for the GPs, nurses and pharmacists men actually turn to.
Three short, profession-specific courses with practical, gender-responsive tools to keep men engaged in the time you have.
Developed by the Movember Institute, the courses draw on research, lived experience, and insight from the practitioners who deliver frontline care.
Getting men through the door is only the first step.
Almost 8 in 10 Australian men see a GP each year, and 87% of Australian men who died by suicide had accessed a health service in the year before their death. The conversation that matters rarely happens in a mental health clinic. It happens in the consult room, at the counter, on the ward.
What happens inside the consultation is where men’s health is won or lost. Men in Mind for Primary Care is built for the clinicians men actually see: short, practical training tailored to your discipline, with gender-responsive tools to open the conversation, recognise what may be sitting beneath the surface, and keep men connected to care.
Self paced learning
Men in Mind for General Practitioners
For GPs and rural generalists
Short, practical training for the consult room. Recognise how masculinities shape the way men present, ask better questions, and turn a guarded conversation into a clear plan men act on.
For practice and community nurses
Use every contact moment to build trust with men. Recognise when distress is underplayed or masked, start sensitive conversations safely, and keep men connected to ongoing care.
For community pharmacists
You’re often the first health professional men turn to. Recognise when more may be going on beneath the presenting issue, start a supportive conversation, and know when and where to refer.
