“I think it’s really important to be a really strong man. And that comes in many different forms. Being strong could be opening up about your emotions or being strong could be the protector or the provider, being strong could be the one who bends down and hugs his kid when they get home from school. Being a strong, masculine person comes in many different forms.” – Harry Garside

It was great to be invited to take part in the Queensland Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Council`s event this week, building and mapping the ecosystem of incredible interventions supporting men and boys to prevent gender-based violence across Queensland. We`re a small but mighty community of practitioners, researchers and service providers who all believe that supporting men and boys will see significant change come about.
At Top Blokes, we`re all about empowering young men to be champions of change—rejecting outdated stereotypes, showing courage and empathy and standing up for what`s right.

“I am worth more than silver and gold.”
Sometimes, when we don’t have a strong support network around us, self-doubt can take root, leaving us feeling uncertain of our own worth.
Youth Worker Bailey shares a powerful moment from the Top Blokes program where a young man faced this very struggle. Through the support and encouragement he found in our space, he realised he could envision—and build—a brighter, more hopeful future.
At Top Blokes, we know that every young male has the resilience, determination, and strength to break free from self-doubt and shape his own path. They may face challenges, but they have the drive and courage to learn, grow, and become the best versions of themselves.
Together, we’re here to guide them as they discover their true potential—showing them that they are worth so much more.
