The Men’s Table is a fast-growing grassroots community building, suicide prevention, and men’s mental health and wellbeing initiative. Our purpose is Healthy Men, Healthy Masculinities, Healthy Communities. The first Men’s Table was formed in 2011 as a way for a group of men to come together and talk honestly about what was really going on for them in a safe and non-judgemental place whilst being part of a mutually supportive peer group. At each Men’s Table, a group of a dozen or so local men meet once a month over a cheap meal in a private room to listen, talk and share about the highs and lows of their lives. Tables are established upon a simple structure and are sustained through the commitment of each man to show up each month to serve themselves and to serve the other men. The program guidelines, the Fundamentals, continue to be co-designed in collaboration with Table members, with 53% of Table members in 2023 indicating that they have a lived experience of suicide. There are now over 200 Tables with more than 2,000 men in all states and territories, with demand for new Tables highlighting the crisis in men’s mental, social and emotional health across the country. In this presentation, we will discuss our research and evaluation over the last five years including insights from our annual surveys of Table members, ongoing Table health evaluations, and our Ripple Effect report. These findings have been used to inform a 2nd version logic model and an impact measurement framework. We will deconstruct the logic model to highlight key inputs that make a difference. We will share evidence gathered on the impacts of our model on men’s mental health and wellbeing by mitigating loneliness and social isolation, developing emotional literacy, strengthening help-seeking and creating community belonging. These insights relate to Suicide Prevention Australia’s recommendations for men, a group that is disproportionately impacted by suicide in Australia. We will also discuss our most recent research collaboration with Monash University in relation to healthy masculinities and the flow on to men’s wellbeing. We advocate for a collective approach across the sector to supporting men’s health and wellbeing through community-led initiatives as vital to an effective suicide prevention ecosystem for men, and for positive ripple effects into our communities.
