100Words MATE TO MATE’s vision is to create a national network of active local communities to improve men’s mental health and reduce male suicides.

Our mission is to create happier generations of men through real conversations and connection to local communities.

The difference we aim to make

We aim to bring about the following outcomes:

Stronger Connections: We want males to get beyond the superficial discussions with each other and be open and honest about their mental health.

Reducing stigma: We want all parts of the community talking about suicide and mental health. Taking action to maintain good mental health and reduce judgement of those struggling.

Encouraging help-giving: We want more men to be confident and capable of checking in on those mates whom are experiencing emotional distress.

Encouraging help-seeking: We want people experiencing emotional distress to have a way to seek help from the people around them as early as possible.

Education: We want to create learning opportunities to build awareness of mental health issues, triggers and tools to support those around them.
