Join Tomorrow Man and It’s Cool To Cry for a game-changing fundraising event, Solid Mates. You’ll walk out with practical tools to be solid for yourself and your people.
Guests get to hear real, relatable and honest conversations from Rob Mills (Actor), Harry Garside (Olympian) and Matthew Richardson (ex AFL). And they’ll get a toolkit of information to have these life changing conversations on the night and beyond.
Solid Mates is aiming to fundraise $100,007 for preventative mental health organisation Tomorrow Man.
Tickets are $50.07 and include food and drinks.
WHAT’S WITH ALL THE 7s?
The suicide rate in Australia is double the road toll. It’s the biggest killer of Australians aged 15-44. It’s 9 people a day, 7 of them men. The 7’s represent men we have lost and the men we are going to save.
It’s Cool To Cry isn’t about mental health awareness. It’s about turning that awareness into action. The action? Talking about mental health. Talking about our feelings before they become overwhelming. Before they become too much. Before we can’t cope. It’s Cool To Cry is a mental health conversation company. They want to improve people’s mental health by empowering them and giving them tools to have the best conversations of their lives.
Whether it’s through workshops and events that change people’s thinking from “mental health, that doesn’t affect me” to “how can I work on my mental health?”, or merch that’s been designed to not only make you look and feel grouse, but to put mental health out in the open, so that conversations can happen in ad hoc, informal ways.
It’s Cool To Cry is permission to not have your shit together all the time. It’s permission to healthily show emotion. It’s the polar opposite of bottling emotions. Why conversations? The more people are brought into the conversation, the more it creates understanding and empathy. More understanding and empathy, means less what? Less fear of judgement, less shame, less guilt. Less stigma. These conversations aren’t about perfection – they’re about practice. And if you end up crying, that’s cool.
Let’s make mental health cool.
