Reposted from @tomorrowman_au “I reckon we’re raising a softer generation today. Blokes in the war didn’t have these types of problems” said one of the first blokes to speak during our first A Night With The Blokes in Boyup Brook back in October last year. This opinion is often shared during these nights. ·
We were in a room of farmers, shearers and young blokes from this small country town in the south-west of WA. Boyup Brook is known for hard workers, full of blokes who’ve had to work through tough times. Tough as nails.
·
As we progressed through the workshop, we came to the statistic “The fastest-growing rate of suicide is men above the age 55”. This shook the room. Many of the men had lost blokes in this age bracket. This wasn’t about softer generations, this was about recognising that blokes of all ages are going through tough times. Whether it’s drought, family challenges or school challenges, tough times come in many different forms. We’re all fighting battles.
·
At the end of the workshop, the same bloke that made the statement about raising a soft generation approached us. He shook our hands, choking back tears and said “We need this down here. Please come back.”
·
The blokes in the room that night owned the fact that sometimes we can all struggle, no matter the generation. And it’s not about blame, it’s about setting an example. An example that says “being tough isn’t just about working hard, it’s about standing up for your mates when they are struggling.” That’s being tough.
·
We were lucky enough to be back in Boyup Brook last week, following up with these same men, meeting some new faces, and hearing some amazing stories of blokes being tough.
·
Thanks to @thekaieardleyfund for making this night happen and to @Gotcha4Life for getting us to WA.✈️🙏🏻

Thanks @rificimarisa and @rossandgalloway for your generous donation to the @thekaieardleyfoundation - you guys are legends 🌈☺️

A huge thank you to everyone who purchased a T-Shirt in support of our bushfire fundraising appeal.🌈
We have donated a total of $500 to WIRES 🐨💙 A message from the WIRES website “Your generosity will make a significant difference by helping us in our work to assist wildlife impacted by bushfires and drought. Tiny 'Busby' is one survivor of the recent fires. He was rescued as an orphaned and suffering burnt paws and is safely in care with a WIRES volunteer and doing well.
Much of our work will be in the aftermath of the fires in the weeks and for many months to come as active firegrounds become safely accessible to our volunteers and we can search for survivors. In addition we sadly expect to be rescuing many animals suffering from loss of habitat which goes hand in hand with food shortages and malnourishment.

Your contribution will be a massive help in our efforts to assist those animals.

Please know that we are committed to improving outcomes for native animals and that we act with integrity and use donations wisely.”

Happy Monday!
In case it’s not clear enough what I’m up to yet, here’s a walking, talking explanation.

Hope you have a bloody good day!

The tide is changing for men young and old, and the outdated stereotype is leaving some of our mates, dads, sons, uncles, teammates, workmates and brothers stranded without the tools to live a healthy life.

It’s time we got in a room to have a no holds barred, honest, open conversation about the state of man; face the stats and create a space to explore how we can look after ourselves, our mates and families better while carving out our own version of the Aussie man.
Join us for an engaging and impactful two hours of casual and honest conversation exploring where traditional masculinity has taken us and what tomorrow’s man might look like.

Arrive at 6:30 pm for a free burger, event starts at 7:00 pm and ends at 9:00 pm.

16 years+ (under 16 years supervised) men only event

This FREE Tomorrow Man event is proudly brought to you by The Kai Eardley Foundation, Boyup Brook Comhat.

Proud to be supporting such an amazing program 🌈

The energy of the lads at Kogarah High School, considering it’s the end of the year, was insane!! I nearly lost my voice, constantly telling the fellas, “Just one at a time! One at a time!” But it was so fun because these lads had so much to say and really wanted to get involved.⁠
.⁠
One fella spoke about his 16-year-old neighbour taking his life last year, “we’d been on a bike ride a week before, I still don’t get it, his family and mine were crushed.”⁠
.⁠
The second gent described how his poor behaviour in school had impacted his family. “I was recently expelled from an elite private school, and it stressed my family out. The cops were called on my dad because he was so angry. They had worked so hard, and I’d let them down - I’m trying my best to turn things around, it all got so ugly. I want to put my head down, work hard and have a family myself - family means the world to me.”⁠
.⁠
The third fella jumped up as soon as the second lad finished. He spoke about losing a close family member to a drug overdose. This is a story he’d carried around with him alone and had never shared it with his mates. He held a lot of power in the room, but you could see there was a tonne of emotion going on for him as he spoke about the love he had for his family and how they had persevered through that tough time. ⁠
.⁠
As we closed the session, the gents acknowledged that we needed to have more conversations like this. Talk about the people who are important to us and that when we go through challenging times, we don't do them alone.⁠
