About

In Australia, young men commit suicide at more than three times the rate of women of the same age. Further, mental illness and drug and alcohol dependency is severely affecting men aged 16-24.
In mid-2009, The Inspire Foundation launched the #Manweek campaign to raise awareness of these issues. A number of Australian bloggers supported this campaign, sharing their thoughts,
challenges and experiences with their readers.
Each of these stories was a gift – sometimes painful to write, always astounding to read. They got under our skin, and as the campaign ended, we felt that the campaign had only just scratched the
surface. We wanted to take these stories and share them
with others – with our brothers, fathers and uncles.
With our friends and families.
This book is the result. Please buy it for the men in your life.
All proceeds go to The Inspire Foundation.
We think it is the perfect gift.
