The Man Cave are a preventative mental health and emotional intelligence charity that empowers boys to become great men.

They exist because suicide is the leading cause of death for men aged 15-44. It’s not car crashes, drug overdoses or coward punches. The biggest killer of young men is themselves. Not only that, one woman dies every week at the hands of a man, and most of the time this is a man they’re close with, someone they trust.

After working with over 65,000 boys across the country, they fundamentally believe that these statistics are preventable through early intervention programs that focus on boys strengths, rather than their deficits.

Using evidence-based workshops and expert facilitation, their programs provide boys with the critical emotional and social skills they need to lead flourishing lives for themselves, their relationships and their communities.

Their vision is to create a world in which every young man has healthy relationships, reaches his full potential and contributes to his community.

The Check In socks are designed to help celebrate Men's Mental Health Week, supporting The Man Cave and promoting conversations between you, your families and your friends. Checking in with your mates and yourself is one of the best ways to build communication channels to talk openly about your thoughts, your feelings and your needs with those around you.

The Man Cave is Australia’s leading preventative mental health charity for teenage boys and their communities. Our programs create long-term, positive shifts in attitudes and behaviours by creating a psychologically safe space, challenging problematic gender stereotypes and providing participants with the opportunity to practise healthier masculinity principles.

A portion of the proceeds of all of the socks sold will go to supporting The Man Caves transformational programs in schools across Australia.
