Tim Sets Out to Stop the Rot

Getting to the nitty gritty of men's mental health

Saturday 26th August saw the pre-launch of Intra-Mind’s charity “Stop the Rot”. A boot camp held in conjunction with Fitstop Yeppoon at Swan Park saw a great turn out in support of Men’s Mental Health.

Tim Chan from Intra-Mind is in the process of setting up the charity which will launch early in 2024. Alarmed by the high number of male suicide rates in the building and medical industry, Tim is keen to make a difference in how men ’ s mental health is supported and discussed.

By normalising the fact that everyone has “issues” and working on a mindset shift of moving before Netflix, Tim anticipates that Stop the Rot will have an impact in reducing suicide rates “Why are we trying to look perfect in our lives to others who aren’t perfect?” Tim said while speaking about his plans for the charity

The state of our mental health needs to become a normal part of a conversation, not an embarrassing one How many of us really know how to have the conversation beyond asking the “Are you OK question?”

There are a few key events coming up in preparation for the charity’s launch Be sure to follow Tim on his Intra-Mind Facebook page to keep up to date.
