About Us

THE CONTEXT

In Australia, one man between the age of 16 and 45 commits suicide every 4 hours. It’s the leading cause of death for men in this cohort
and it’s happening at a rate of 3:1 when compared to women.

We’re a not-for-profit organisation which exists to help bring this number to zero. Our approach to doing this is through proactively
developing grit, resilience and mental health in this cohort of men through skill building workshops, events and a strong sense of community.

Grit, resilience and mental toughness are the result of a number of factors:

● An understanding and commitment to our authentic sense of purpose;
● Living in alignment with our personal values;
● A proactive and optimistic attitude and approach to life;
● Commitment and discipline to embrace challenge as and when it arrives;
● A strong support network and a corresponding sense of connection and community;
● Physical wellness;
● Financial literacy and management;
● And a few other things..

GRIT, RESILIENCE AND MENTAL TOUGHNESS THROUGH SELF LEADERSHIP

Taking proactive responsibility for all of these things is what we call Self Leadership.

All of the events, programs and other activities which we invest in are all focussed on building out this Self Leadership
within the community. By doing so, it’s our hope that men between 16 and 35 can flourish in this stage of life.
