ABOUT US
WELCOME TO THE TALK2MEBRO MOVEMENT
Our mission is to help reduce the number of Australians who die from suicide to zero.
Through early intervention, we aim to create societal change - reducing the stigma in attitudes towards suicide, and empowering people to take control of their mental health.
OUR VISION
Our vision is a world without suicide. Through our work, we seek to make a lasting impact that resonates beyond our programs - encouraging a culture of awareness, resilience, and support in every space we reach. We’re committed to a future where conversations about mental health are commonplace and mental wellbeing is universally embraced.
WHAT WE DO
We offer tailored mental health programs that meet the unique needs of each individual audience such as workshops, keynote sessions, immersive experiences, and team-building activities and more. Our programs focus on resilience-building, communication, and self-care strategies that participants can integrate into their everyday lives.
OUR STORY
OUR ORIGINS
Talk2MeBro was born from loss. Our two directors, Jack and Luke, were both deeply impacted by the suicide of loved ones.
After the passing of Big Matt, his wife Kristy, had shirts made up for the funeral to raise awareness around suicide — an early and powerful gesture that helped spark our mission. Later that same year, Luke also lost a close friend to suicide.
Heartbroken but determined, they made a commitment to drive real change. What began as a simple goal to create a safe space where people could open up and share their struggles without judgement, has grown into a dynamic organisation.
OUR IMPACT
Since 2018, we have facilitated our unique programs, retreats, and seminars in schools, workplaces, sports clubs, and across our communities. This includes:
- 73,000+ face-to-face facilitations
- 17,000+ sporting clubs
- 15,000+ workplaces
- 7,000+ schools
- 2.5m social media reach.
OUR LOCATIONS
Our reach extends across various communities, with major branches located in Wollongong, Newcastle, Sydney, Batemans Bay, Central Coast, Dubbo and Central NSW. However, we also travel to diverse areas to meet individuals, teams and workplaces where they are.
This commitment to accessibility allows us to bring our message of resilience and support to both urban and regional areas.
OUR PEOPLE
The strength of Talk2MeBro lies in our dedicated team of Custodians and Crew. Our team includes experienced mental health professionals, trained facilitators, and passionate advocates who bring compassion and knowledge to every program we deliver.
Each member of our organisation is committed to our mission. Together, we foster a community that values openness, understanding, and shared growth, making Talk2MeBro a truly supportive network for all.
