In this inspiring talk, Matt will share the story behind Spoke to a Bloke, a grassroots charity dedicated to tackling men’s mental health and reducing Australia’s devastating rates of male suicide. With 3 out of every 4 suicide deaths being men, change is urgently needed. You’ll hear about our initiatives to bring early intervention and meaningful support to men who are struggling, before it’s too late.

A key part of Walk for a Bloke 2025 is the Perth event, where participants will take on a 25km walk that is happening simultaneously across 19 locations in Australia, England, and Switzerland. The Perth walk is a fantastic opportunity to get moving, build Meaningful Mateships, and show up for mental health. Whether you're walking solo or with a team, your participation will help spread the message and create positive change.

Founded after the tragic loss of a mate to suicide, Spoke to a Bloke is a charity born from a group of men who knew they could do more. Join us for this session and discover how we're empowering men to open up, build meaningful connections, and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health.
