October is Mental Health Month, and we’re grateful to Minister David Janetzki for joining us on a walk as part of the Lift the Load Challenge. During the walk, he spoke with Jean-Luc, a Top Blokes graduate, about the weight of poor mental health.
With our program embedded in Toowoomba, we are able to support hundreds of young males each year. Thank you for taking the time to listen and show young men that their voices matter.

🎉 Lift the Load is officially ON! 🎉
Meet Dan, Top Blokes NSW State Manager. This Month, he’s lifting the load for his daughters, his wife, and to be the best version of himself.
Putting on a vest isn’t just about the challenge. It’s a powerful symbol, showing support to others and showing that it’s okay to reach out and share what you’re going through.
Every vest tells a story. Are you ready to join the movement this Mental Health Month?

“The change in respect, communication and the way they support each other.”
That’s what Katie, Youth Coordinator at Gympie State High School, has noticed in her boys since bringing Top Blokes into the school.
From building resilience and stronger friendships to finding the confidence to speak up, the growth has been incredible.
We’re so grateful to Katie and the staff at Gympie for backing their young men and giving them the chance to grow into the best versions of themselves.

At Top Blokes, our values shape everything we do – from building connections with young men to creating spaces where they can grow.
Youth worker Dave wrote a song inspired by the Top Blokes values:
– Be authentic
– Lead by example
– Open to vulnerability
– Keep being curious
– Empower others
– Show empathy
It’s his way of showing that these values aren’t just something we talk about, but something you can live by every single day. Big thanks to Dave for reminding us that values hit hardest when you make them your own.
