The experiences

We listened to countless stories. Men not knowing the risks, leaving it too late to seek professional healthcare, or having a poor experience when they do, and much more. All to create a clearer picture of men's health.

The impact

Men's health doesn't just affect men alone. Every day, we hear from wives, mothers, sisters, partners, mates, neighbours, children, teachers and doctors. Their stories, along with men's, create the real face of men's health.

Spread the word

Support the campaign on your socials. We’re calling for a national strategy to support the health, mental health and wellbeing of boys and men across Aotearoa New Zealand. The more people who join us, the more pressure we can put on policy makers. Together we can build a groundswell for prioritising action, and stop men from dying too young.
