Can You Spare ONE Hour to Save a Life?

Protect Your Most Valuable Investment!
MATES Cafe is about saving lives. Suicide is often a result of relationship breakdown. MATES Cafe facilitators provide support by meeting with a man in crisis at a local cafe when he needs to talk and find direction. Did you know that there are now over 450 men in New Zealand each year who chose to take their own life?

Rather than having to withstand the aftermath associated with losing control of his emotions and overreacting when he feels triggered, MATES provides effective tools for a man to take charge of his emotions and be a strong male role-model for other men, women and children in his life. 
Creating fulfilling relationships is your most valuable investment and the fastest, most powerful and fun way to being the very best you can be. ​Through our advanced Facilitator Training you will gain leadership skills and qualities, uncover those you already have and help others on their path to empower our communities.

​Join us for workshops, seminars, ongoing training and ultimately help MATES to prevent suicide, family violence and relationship breakdown in your community. Empower your relationship with a unique technique to overcome emotional triggers whilst helping to save lives.
Be a Good MATE... Have a coffee or cuppa with a MATE and together let's empower others to live happy and fulfilling lives...
Feel heard and understood...
