Big love to our ambassador @kieranforan — recognised at the Dally M Awards for going above and beyond off the field 💙
After personal heartbreak, Kieran turned pain into purpose — showing up for young men, speaking out about mental health, and helping break the stigma.
"If being vulnerable about my journey has helped one person to make a choice, to keep moving forward and to keep throwing themselves into the uncomfortable – then my struggles have not been in vain."
His voice. His story. His heart. We’re proud to have you in the Top Blokes family, Foz. Full story on our website.

October is Mental Health Month, and we’re grateful to Minister David Janetzki for joining us on a walk as part of the Lift the Load Challenge. During the walk, he spoke with Jean-Luc, a Top Blokes graduate, about the weight of poor mental health.
With our program embedded in Toowoomba, we are able to support hundreds of young males each year. Thank you for taking the time to listen and show young men that their voices matter.

🎉 Lift the Load is officially ON! 🎉
Meet Dan, Top Blokes NSW State Manager. This Month, he’s lifting the load for his daughters, his wife, and to be the best version of himself.
Putting on a vest isn’t just about the challenge. It’s a powerful symbol, showing support to others and showing that it’s okay to reach out and share what you’re going through.
Every vest tells a story. Are you ready to join the movement this Mental Health Month?
