Dr Zac Seidler is a clinical psychologist, researcher and leading men’s mental health expert.

He currently holds dual roles as Global Director of Men’s Health Research at Movember and Senior Research Fellow with Orygen at the University of Melbourne.

If you meet for a beer, don’t get him started on gender politics.

Zac has dedicated his academic and professional career towards further understanding men’s mental health and masculinity. His ultimate goal is to help reduce the staggering rates of male suicide and domestic violence worldwide.

 

Through his research, Zac has advocated for a change in the way we think about treating men’s distress. As part of his research, he has uniquely focused on creating mental health services that account for masculinity.

This has evolved into a fully funded project, Men in Mind, the world’s first training program for mental health clinicians, to help them better understand and respond to men’s distress and suicidality.
