Core Values
Service & Contribution
We believe a man’s growth is realised when he shows up authentically for himself, and by how he shows up for others. We foster an environment where men share their lived experience to support their mates. This is the path from loneliness & isolation to meaningful friendships and a love of life.
Integrity & Accountability
We value the courage it takes to be honest with ourselves. Our programs encourage men to take full responsibility for their actions, their emotions, and their impact on those around them.
Awareness & Compassion
We measure our success by the health of the relationships our men return home to. We focus on building the skills – like emotional regulation and respectful communication – that make men better partners, fathers, and colleagues.
You can’t do this alone. Whether it’s at a weekend gathering or a local men’s group, there is a seat in our circles for you.
Testimonials
Being from the country and now living in the city I found things quite different (and difficult) at times. Common Ground has helped me understand myself and taught me to be much more open, a great experience and highly recommendable.
Mark, Wakerley
I did not show up to Common Ground broken in crisis or stuck, I came to make connections with like minded men. I have a simple formula: before CG and my involvement with Mens Welbeing my funeral would of been a sad affair with very few attending, now I’m certain there will be many men there celebrating our achievements together and honouring my passing.
Oliver, Fairfield
The nine week Common Ground process had a profound effect on my life. It gave me deep connection with other men, healed my wounds with my father and helped me to see the “stories” and belief systems which had been programmed into me which I allowed to run my life. The facilitation was excellent with three facilitators for twenty men. Being delivered over nine weeks gave time for strong bonds to be welded between us. We still meet weekly after 2 and a half years.
Shane, Ocean Shores
Common Ground Saved my life and My Marriage. A good way I like to explain it is before Common Ground I was watching Black and white TV and then all of a sudden I was watching HD Digital Colour TV – It was amazing. I loved the program and I am evolving always. My Marriage is stronger than ever and my relationships are deep and meaningful. I am also a more present Father which makes me feel amazing.
Brett, Surfers Paradise
I found Common Ground at a difficult time in my life, struggling with the prospect of becoming a father for the first time, I reached out online and found Men’s Wellbeing I am so glad I did. I now have a beautiful 14 year old daughter, and I’m a great dad.
