19.01.2022 "We had no idea he felt that way. He always has a smile on his face. He's actually the nicest bloke." There was a murmur of agreement and a slight undertone of ...guilt from the boys at Xavier College in Ballina. They were talking about one of the boys, who had just stood up and spoke in front of the group. He could only speak three or four words at a time, using all his strength to hold back tears. The wobble of his voice and pain in his eyes showed his vulnerability, commanding a silence within the room. He spoke about being bullied when he started at this school. How he was young and vulnerable, and the bullying had brought him to tears. After crying in front of the other boys he assumed he'd 'lost everyone's respect', that 'no one respects me anymore'. But no one else could even remember the occasion. For the past four years, this boy had thought because he had cried, something that is entirely normal and natural, that he had lost all respect amongst his peers, that he was no longer a man. He was sitting up the front of the room, so I asked him to close his eyes. And then I got real with the rest of the room. "Chuck your hand up, and don't do it just because you think it's the right thing to do, no bullshit in this moment! Put your hand up if you respect this guy right now, for his honesty." Every hand was high, straight up in the air. The script had been flipped. All those years ago, he thought he'd lost their respect, but in this workshop, by speaking with gravity, he had gained the respect of everyone in the room. Some of the other lads had even been brought to tears, sharing a huge amount of empathy for the situation. After he spoke, the lad stepped outside for a quick, well-earned, drink of water. In the room another boy looked up at me, "It's crazy. If he didn't say something, we would have never known!" It's so easy to forget that there was potentially another 20 lads in the room that could have spoken up, and used this opportunity to talk about their plights. But they didn't take the risk, and we only had time for one. Today. I hope we can come back again, and again, to give everyone the chance to speak with gravity, to have their say. - Josh It's been a difficult time for teenagers over the last few months. Disrupted studies and virtual classrooms can sometimes mean missing out on building genuine connection between peers. All of our workshops can be delivered face to face or virtually, depending on your state's current lockdown restrictions. So no matter where you are, we can help create a safe space for your students to be able to speak with gravity.

08.01.2022 The case for a National Male Suicide Prevention Strategy The Australian Men's Health Forum is calling on the Government to develop a national plan to prevent ma...le suicide. In a new report published on World Suicide Prevention Day, Thursday 10 September 2020, AMHF says the Government is spending $5 billion a year on mental health services but the money isn’t reaching men at risk of suicide. The solution, says the report, is for the Government to develop a National Plan to Prevent Male Suicide that directs funding at male-friendly services and gets more men involved in preventing suicide.

07.01.2022 Posted by Jeremy Ingham More from women, men and the whole damn thing by Aussie journalist and author David Leser. These words come from Chapter 9 which is t...itled ‘Augustine confessions’. For years I’d refused to see how my ambitions could possibly be overwhelming the woman I loved; nor could I see how her resentments were a symptom of the assumed prerogatives men had been carrying for centuries. I understood this in theory, but certainly not in cold, hard practice. My needs counted more. My projects counted more. My interests counted more. ‘There’s a huge amount of unexamined privilege that men go about in the world with,’ said Tim Winton on the Seven Networks 'Interview', hosted by Andrew Denton, in June 2018. ‘They think that they’ve got where they’ve got just because they’re good, and a lot of the time they’ve got where they’ve got mostly because they’re a bloke. They have an enormous tailwind, and if you’re not actually conscious of that, then you don’t understand that for so many people, particularly girls and young women, they have a headwind. Its changing, but it’s still there, and a bloke who can’t see that is a bloke who’s just adding to the problem, he’s adding to the headwind.’ In other words, if respect and true equality were at the heart of what women have been clamouring to achieve in the workplace and at home then it was sheer artifice on my part to pretend I’d ever fully understood this clamour, let alone done something to address it. The tragic symmetry of this is that my life would have been better if my wife’s life had been better; that if I’d understood the value in relinquishing some of my unacknowledged freedoms, both of our lives would have improved. Elsewhere in the same chapter: But the problem with having always had a leg-up is that it can often blind to you to another’s disadvantage. You only ever see the life that has produced, nourished and paid for your own privilege, nothing of the catalogue of oppression that is visited upon others. And: ’You don’t know what’s happening on the other side of the wall,’ said James Baldwin, the American author and social critic, ‘because you don’t want to know.’ You don’t want to know, or you don’t even know that you don’t know. .. Jane Caro is quoted on the cover ‘At last, a man has listened and understood.’

06.01.2022 Hey Men, Sign this petition from our friends at Australian Men's Health Forum (AMHF) to help Save Aussie Men from suicide. If the number of Men that take their own lives was due to road toll, there would be a national outcry and a Royal Commission

04.01.2022 They don't want to let go of you. They don't want to grow apart from you. But it might feel like that when they're slamming the door and grunting expletives. ... What they're trying to do is create a change. They can feel themselves growing and they want to reinvent their relationship with you. But they aren't born with the skills to do that. Most of the boys I worked with this year exhibit a huge desire for their relationship with their parents to be as strong if not stronger than ever, as they grow toward manhood. But they need it to be different. They don't want to be parented like a kid anymore, even if they behave that way sometimes. Relationships don't reinvent themselves. We have to carve out intentional time to explore what that relationship could look like moving forwards. If not, boys will use the primitive tools they have to push away from what they don't want. If you want to carve out some time together with your boy to reinvent your relationship, get in touch. It's what we do. #abetterwaytobloke #healthymasculinity #mothersoncamp #fathersoncamp Pic: Rae Fallon See more
