No one is “incentivised” to be disabled.
But remove support, and you do incentivise isolation, crisis, and breakdown.

Framing psychosocial struggle as weakness is not just wrong—it’s dangerous. It builds stigma, and stigma keeps men silent.

And silence is where the stats get deadly.

If you’re still showing up despite everything—you’re a champion.

Come stand shoulder to shoulder with other men who get it.
Mendis. Men. Mending Men.

Does anyone look at the actual data before they write articles? The disconnect between the data and the current ndis budget crisis narrative shocked me…

I’m not interested in a world with fewer strong men.

I come from strong men.

This is about making sure that strength lasts.

Because strength without support isn’t toughness —
it’s isolation.

Young people are looking for a map.

Let’s build one that works.

We don’t get better alone.

We weren’t taught the wrong values.

Toughen up.
Be useful.
Be the strong one.

Those built families and communities.

The problem is when they cost you yourself.

Real strength is flexible.

We don’t get better alone.

I thought my body was the problem.

Fatigue. Shutdown. Losing capacity under pressure.

But a nervous system that never feels safe
will eventually force safety.

The right environment doesn’t just support people —
it brings them back online.

That’s why spaces like Mendis exist.

We don’t get better alone.

Children don’t learn emotional safety from what we say.

They learn it from what happens when they tell the truth.

That moment becomes identity.

The adults we meet later
are the children who learned
whether honesty kept them close.

We don’t get better alone.

This is great to see - hopefully we can keep some blokes out of there but a much improved safety net!

There’s a quiet issue inside the NDIS that rarely makes headlines.

Not fraud.
Not overspending.

Disengagement.

Across Australia, men with approved supports are not fully using their plans — often because of poor mental health, stigma, or simple exhaustion.

Unused support isn’t a saving. It’s deferred crisis.

I’ve written about the impact this has — not just on participants, but on families, communities, and long-term government expenditure.

We need a conversation about engagement, not just budgets.

With the way the NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme is being discussed right now, a lot of disabled people are feeling like a burden. That should worry all of us.

We all deserve to be more fully informed.

Here’s what the debate keeps leaving out: https://mendis.digiwell.com.au/the-truth-about-the-ndis/

The Truth About the NDIS (That No One Wants to Talk About) The conversation about the National Disability Insurance Scheme is almost always framed the same way. Cost. Blowouts. Rorts. Unsustainable…
