The Great Mate Check-In

The Great Mate Check-In is an annual event hosted by How to Help to raise funds for MISA: Men’s Information and Support Association.

We’re here to foster stronger connections, prioritize mental health, and build a community where men support each other.

Today is a day for a powerful question, but for us, it's a mission every day.

Today is R U OK? Day, and at The Great Mate Check-In, we believe asking "Are you really ok?" should be a normal part of your everyday world.

By having those regular check-ins when things are good, you build the trust to notice when something is off. That’s when you can dig a little deeper and be there when a mate really needs you.

So today, check in on your mates. It could be the most important conversation you have all year.

Happy First Friday of the month!

Today is your official reminder to do what we do best: check in on a mate. That simple message, "Are you okay?", has the power to change a life and remind someone they're not alone.

Make the call, send the text, or grab a coffee. Show your crew that mateship is more than just a word.

Checking in on a mate’s mental health is vital, but it’s just as important to check in on their physical health, too.

This month is Prostate Cancer Month, a time to talk about a subject many blokes avoid. Did you know it’s the most common cancer in Australian men, with 1 in 5 diagnosed by the age of 85?

Just like we encourage you to ask a mate “how are you really?”, we’re asking you to go one step further: ask if they’ve had a check-up. This simple conversation can be the first step towards early detection, which can be life-saving. It’s all part of our mission to build stronger, healthier communities.

Quick Tip of the Week: Go for a walk.

It might sound simple, but stepping away from your desk or getting out of the house for 15 minutes can do wonders for your mental clarity. It's a low-effort way to break up your day, get some fresh air, and give your mind a chance to reset.

Give it a try: Set a timer for 15 minutes today, put on some tunes, or just listen to the world around you and go for a walk.

What's a simple habit you have that helps you reset? Share it with us! 👇

How many times have you heard (or given!) the automatic "I'm fine"? 👋 Our latest TGMC Quick Tip is all about taking that extra step to truly connect.

It's easy to just take a surface-level answer, but sometimes, a mate needs to know you've really noticed them. Whether it's a gentle "Are you really okay?" or pointing out "You don't seem yourself today," showing that genuine care can create the space for them to open up.

Your observation and persistence (in the kindest way!) can be the crucial moment they realise someone truly sees them and cares enough to dig a little deeper. That's where real mateship shines. ✨

Who's a mate you can ask twice today? Let's keep those vital conversations flowing.

Myth Buster Monday: Let's tackle a big one today: "Real men don't cry."

This couldn't be further from the truth. Emotions are a fundamental part of being human, and expressing them – whether through tears, laughter, or frustration – is a sign of strength, not weakness. Bottling things up can actually be detrimental to mental health.

At The Great Mate Check-In, we believe true strength lies in authenticity and courage. It takes courage to feel, to express, and to seek support. Let's challenge these outdated ideas together.
