Top Blokes Foundation is on a mission to improve young men's mental and physical health and well-being. We work with boys to increase their resilience, empathy and respect for self and others, and in doing so reduce the rate of suicides, mental health issues, anti-social and risk-taking behaviours. Our preventative, evidence-based mentoring programs are delivered by qualified and experienced youth workers, and have been developed especially to engage and educate boys and young men. Our goal is to mentor and develop their critical-thinking and decision-making skills, as well as normalise a definition of masculinity beyond "strong" and "stoic" to improve young men's relationships with their own identities and those around them. Our programs constitute an affirmative platform for young males to become positive role models to their peers and adopt healthier lifestyle choices, while developing personal qualities of integrity, independence and respect for others.
