Mr Perfect – a Safe Space for Men’s Mental Wellbeing

Mr Perfect – from the outside looking in, everything appears to be perfect. Yet perfection is far from the truth as the stresses and pressures of life these days are taking their toll on the mental health and wellbeing of our male population.

Meet Adam Pratt, local volunteer organiser for Mr Perfect here in Yeppoon. Adam noticed that while the Coast has been experiencing significant growth and expansion, there was no space to talk about mental health in a casual way. After following the grassroots organisation online for some time, he reached out and enquired about getting a local group started to provide much-needed support.

Mr Perfect is a grassroots not-for-profit organisation that originated in Sydney whose mission is to have monthly barbecues in every town. The premise behind the organisation, dates back to when men used to gather around the fire, and we know how men love to gather around a BBQ!

Gathering once a month on the last Sunday of the month for a casual BBQ at the bottom of Kemp Hill from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

The group provides a safe space to chat about anything and everything. There’s no need to RSVP, you can just turn up and you will be welcomed by Adam and the crew. You are welcome to bring a support person along with you and family members are also welcome.
