The Men’s Health and Wellbeing program is one of the specialist services at Student
Health, Wellbeing and Inclusion, aimed at supporting the diverse needs of our students.
Our Senior Coordinator of Men’s Health, Wellbeing and Counselling, psychologist Jason Campbell, describes what is on offer:
“We recognize the unique needs of the men of La Trobe when it comes to maintaining good mental and physical health. The role of the Men’s Health and Wellbeing program is to help support you in achieving your own goals and what you want to get out of life”.
Men seeking & finding support – not always easy!
We understand that sometimes men can find it challenging to seek out support or feel the services
available don’t feel like right fit for them.
We also know there are often beliefs we inherit as men that we need to be independent, to be
strong and sort things out for ourselves. Jason reminds us that “these are great qualities, but they
sometimes get in the way if we are struggling”.
“More and more, guys are seeing seeking support is a sign of strength and are looking for counselling
and mental health supports that work for them”
Counselling tailored specifically for men
La Trobe University’s Men’s Health & Wellbeing service is designed to provide dedicated counselling,
information, and opportunities for connection for the men of Latrobe.
Yes, guys do seek counselling each and every day at our service! “The reasons for seeking counselling
and the support received is as individual as the men we see”. Support is available for guys interested in looking after their mental health, men’s related issues or for guys that have a preference to see a male
counsellor. Counselling is relaxed, easy going, confidential and tailored specifically for you and what
you want to achieve
