Today is International Men’s Day, a time to recognise the achievements of men and boys, highlight positive role models, and focus on their mental and physical health. The 2025 theme is “Supporting Men and Boys”, reminding us that fostering supportive communities for males is more important than ever.
At Top Blokes, supporting men and boys is at the heart of everything we do. Our programs in schools and workplaces create safe spaces where young men can explore their identity, express themselves openly, and develop the confidence to become empathetic, resilient, and responsible members of society. Through mentoring, workshops, and leadership programs, we provide boys with the tools and guidance they need to navigate the challenges of adolescence and early adulthood.
This support is transforming lives on a massive scale. In 2024, Top Blokes reached 4,600 young males across 220 schools and communities, proving that young men are eager to engage when given a safe space. The impact is undeniable: 85% of older teens now possess better tools to manage their mental health, while nearly half of our younger participants reported a direct increase in self-confidence. By helping boys control their emotions and better understand healthy relationships , we aren’t just preventing negative outcomes; we are actively building a generation of men who are optimistic about their future.
International Men’s Day is a reminder that every boy and man deserves the opportunity to thrive. At Top Blokes, we are proud to celebrate the potential in every young man we work with and to continue our mission of supporting men and boys across Australia – ensuring they grow up knowing they are valued, understood, and never alone.
