NZ Men's Group Network is a volunteer organisation that helps create and expand access to men's groups in Aotearoa, New Zealand, to help improve the mental and emotional health of Kiwi men. Our network of men have been involved in establishing and coordinating men's groups and events for more than 25 years.
Over the last four years we have actively promoted men's work, formed and mentored new groups, held retreats, and organised an International Men's Open Day in Nelson. Finding information about or access to men's groups in New Zealand can be difficult, and we are working to change that — collaborating with existing groups and with Government and non-Government organisations to make men's groups more accessible nationwide.
We have developed a proven approach to building interest in men's work, forming new groups, and mentoring them through their first formative period. We share this knowledge through workshops open to anyone in the country.
Historically our efforts have been focused in the Top of the South, but we are now expanding to help connect men to groups across all of New Zealand.
Our Mission
Making men's groups accessible throughout Aotearoa, New Zealand, to help improve the mental and emotional health of Kiwi men. Every man who wants to check out or join a men's group should have the opportunity.
Our Vision
Men with a strong sense of belonging and purpose who confidently and honestly express their needs in relationship, community, and society — and who take responsibility for their own growth.
