Abstract
![CDATA[This presentation examines the contentious concept of ‘masked’ or hidden male depression and its links with aggression and violence. It then shows how life transitions for men may trigger depression and the associated hostility and aggression. Key therapeutic, legal and social support strategies that are commonly used with such depressed and angry men are outlined. The presentation critiques aspects of these approaches and offers effective options for alternative services and programs. It concludes with suggestions for those working with men to enable them to ‘walk’ with them through some of these transitions and help these males regain a sense of meaning, direction and purpose by co-creating men friendly places and services.]]
