Programs

Right Mate delivers practical, connection-based programs for schools, sporting clubs, workplaces and community groups.

Our programs are built around lived experience, honest conversation and simple tools that help people look out for themselves and each other. Whether we are speaking with students, supporting families, working with clubs or creating broader community conversations, the goal is the same: to change the narrative around men’s mental health and build communities where people feel confident having the conversations that matter.

School Workshops

Audience: Year 10 students and above
Duration: 45 minutes
Format: Interactive workshop

Right Mate’s School Workshops are designed to help young men better understand themselves, their mates and the pressures that can shape how they think, speak and behave.

This 45-minute interactive session creates a safe and practical conversation around male stereotypes, outdated “traditional” phrases, help-seeking, emotional awareness and what it means to genuinely look out for a mate.

The workshop is not about telling students what to think. It is about giving them the confidence, language and tools to challenge unhelpful ideas, recognise when someone may not be travelling well and understand how small conversations can make a big difference.

Follow-up workshops are available for schools that would like to explore specific topics in greater detail and continue building a stronger culture of connection, respect and support.

Sporting Clubs

Audience: Players, coaches, committee members, volunteers, parents and club leaders
Duration: 1 to 2 hours
Format: Interactive session with storytelling, discussion and practical activities

Sporting clubs play a powerful role in the lives of men and young people. They are often where friendships are formed, confidence is built and people feel part of something bigger than themselves.

Right Mate’s Sporting Club session is designed to help clubs create stronger, safer and more connected environments by breaking down outdated stereotypes around what it means to be a man, a teammate, a coach or a leader.

Through storytelling, practical discussion and simple activities, the session helps clubs better understand how to recognise when someone may be struggling, how to check in with confidence and how to build a culture where members look out for each other on and off the field or court.

This workshop is tailored to the needs of each club and can be adapted for players, coaches, volunteers, junior programs, senior teams or whole-of-club education.

Corporate Program

Audience: Business leaders, managers, teams, employees, people and culture teams, and workplace wellbeing groups
Duration: 1 hour
Format: Interactive workplace session

Right Mate’s Corporate Program is designed to help workplaces create stronger, more connected and more human-centred teams.

This one-hour interactive session opens up a practical conversation around men’s mental health, workplace pressure, connection, identity, communication and the importance of checking in before things reach crisis point.

The session explores how traditional expectations around being strong, silent, busy or “just getting on with it” can impact the way men show up at work, at home and in their relationships. It also provides simple, practical tools to help people recognise when a colleague may not be travelling well, start a conversation with confidence and understand what to do next.

This is not a clinical presentation or a tick-box wellbeing session. It is a real conversation built around lived experience, practical education and the belief that workplaces can play a powerful role in creating connection, reducing isolation and supporting better mental wellbeing.

The program is suitable for corporate teams, leadership groups, male-dominated workplaces, mixed teams, HR and people leaders, wellbeing committees and organisations looking to build a healthier, more connected workplace culture.

Are You Right Mate?

Audience: Men, sporting clubs, workplaces, community groups and the broader community
Format: Interactive community conversation

Are You Right Mate? is an interactive night designed to create a real, honest and practical conversation about men, mental wellbeing and connection.

The session asks a simple but powerful question: are you actually right, mate?

Together, the group explores what it has meant to be a man historically, what it means today and what needs to change so men feel more comfortable talking about the uncomfortable.

This is not a lecture. The audience is part of the conversation and part of the solution. Through open discussion, lived experience and practical takeaways, the session helps men better understand themselves, look out for those around them and build the confidence to ask better questions, listen properly and take action when it matters.

Are You Right Mate? is suitable for sporting clubs, workplaces, community groups and anyone wanting to create stronger connection and healthier conversations within their community.
