Break the stigma around men’s mental health
Project 6
Project 6 was created by a team passionate about men’s mental health and community connection.
At its core, Project 6 is about connection, support, and growth. We want men to feel heard, accepted, and empowered to reach out when they need help. The impact we aim for is helping men build mental resilience, create friendships, and break the stigma around talking about mental health. We want to be known for building communities where men feel safe to be themselves and for sparking meaningful change in men’s wellbeing.

I know what it’s like to bottle things up and try to handle everything alone. Like a lot of men, “toughen up” was always the strategy. Keep moving, stay busy, and deal with things.
Looking back in time, I realised I’d automatically learnt through life and past experiences that shutting things down and carrying it alone was just how other people, and eventually myself, were supposed to deal with things. But through doing the work on myself and making positive changes in my own life, I’ve seen firsthand how much mental health impacts not only us as individuals, but also our relationships, families, and the people around us.
That’s why starting Project 6 means so much to me. I want to help create a space where men can have honest conversations, feel supported, and realise they don’t have to carry everything alone. Even if a conversation or shared experience helps someone in a small way, that matters. And on the other end of that, it could be the thing that saves someone’s life. Sometimes having a real conversation can change everything.

Project 6 comes from a place of personal experience, as well as what I have learned through my work as a mental health occupational therapist. I have seen and felt how carrying things quietly can take a toll, especially when you feel like you have to manage it alone.
Men often wait until things feel too heavy before they reach out. I want to change that by making connection easier, so men know there is somewhere they can turn, where people are willing to listen and stand beside them.
My goal for Project 6 is to build a space grounded in honest conversations and mateship, where men can show up as they are.
Is project 6 right for you?
We exist because too many men navigate the hard stuff alone — work, relationships, identity, the general chaos of it all. We’re building a space where men can show up as they are, be real, and work through life without having to figure it all out on their own. We’re for:
Men who want a space to connect, talk openly, and not carry everything alone
Those who are curious about mental health but don’t connect with traditional support settings
Men looking to build stronger relationships, self-awareness, and emotional resilience
Anyone who values real conversation, community, and showing up for others in a grounded, no-pressure way
