Do you Mo? Join the community changing the face of men’s health year-round. Together, we can be part of the solution.
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.
The benefits
Preventing avoidable conditions in men and improving the day-to-day lives of men and those closest to them can save us billions.
Numbers don't lie
Some stats we must fix.
More than two in five men living in Aotearoa die prematurely, and mostly from preventable causes.
Life expectancy for Tāne Māori is 7.5 years shorter than non-Maori men.
Three in four suicides in New Zealand are men. Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 35.
Where men live predicts how long they live
Our interactive map lays out new data on premature mortality in every Health District.
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.
