A day to celebrate men
Today is International Men’s Day and it’s a good chance to give a shout-out to the blokes and young fellas who keep our families, our workplaces and our communities going.
This year’s theme is Celebrating Boys and Men and I reckon that’s bang on.
Because being a man isn’t about pretending you’re tough all the time. It’s about being a good bloke, showing up, looking after your mates and being someone the young fellas can look up to.
International Men’s Day is all about
👊 Good role models. The dads, stepdads, uncles, coaches, teachers and workmates who show boys how to be decent men.
🧠 Men’s mental and physical health. Too many blokes still keep everything bottled up.
⚖️ Calling out the pressure on men and boys to just push through and never ask for help.
And let’s be honest, if you’re doing your best, juggling work, family and life, even if you rock a dad bod, tell terrible jokes and wander around Bunnings for no reason, you’re doing alright.
So today, just do one thing
✔️ Send a mate a message
✔️ Book that doctor’s appointment
✔️ Tell a young fella you’re proud of him
✔️ And if you’re struggling, talk to someone
When we back boys and men, the whole community is better for it.
Happy International Men’s Day.
