ABOUT US //

​OUR STORY //

Conviction Group is a not-profit organisation. Our objective is to create culture change, where young men do not feel that talking about challenges and asking for help is a sign of weakness. The highest cause of death for young males in Australia aged 15 to 44 is suicide. Conviction Group aims to liberate the stigma surrounding young men's health and challenge students to start and continue an open 'conversation’. We believe that education and prevention is the key in creating a long-term solution to these issues facing young men in Australia. Our hope is a generation of strong male leaders and role models for future generations. A generation that will feel comfortable seeking help when needed and actively seek to help others facing difficult situations.
