The Blokes Helping Blokes started with a Breakfast that came as a response to an average of six males a day committing suicide in Australia—even sadder, six a week in Victoria.
Crocodile Dundee said it all when the New Yorker shared she was seeing her psychologist: “Don’t you have any mates to talk to?” “Well at Wombat Creek if you got a problem, you tell Wally.
And he tells everyone in town... brings it out in the open... no more problem.” (Crocodile Dundee, 1986)
A further innovation that we introduced was the idea of ‘living eulogies’, allowing people to describe their own life history, instead of waiting until they were dead and someone else would do it, very inaccurately. Our founder Glenn had attended the funeral of a friend and barely recognised the person being talked about; and things that he thought of most importance weren’t mentioned at all.
Glenn says: As eulogies are shared it is our belief that other men struggling may find hope from lives already lived.
