This is ONE LESS.

Built around one simple mission: fewer men suffering in silence and fewer lives lost.

We’re here to create stronger conversations, stronger connections and a stronger Australia.

This is only the beginning.

One life. Every day.
ONE LESS. 🇦🇺

Some men walk through our doors looking for fitness. Others are searching for routine, accountability, connection, or simply somewhere to belong.

But what they’re finding is something much bigger than a workout.

Hearing these blokes talk about how Fellaship has impacted their mental health, their daily routines and their lives is exactly why we do what we do.

We’re not just building stronger bodies. We’re building stronger men, stronger connections and a community where no bloke has to do life alone.

That’s what Fellaship is all about. 💪🏽

If you’ve been looking for something more than just a gym, our doors are open.

WE DON’T NEED TO BE THE ANSWER. WE NEED TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION.

Male suicide is bigger than any one person, organisation or initiative.

At One Less, we believe in what we’re building. But we also recognise that we can’t reach every man, and we won’t have every answer.

That’s why collaboration matters.

Different people. Different experiences. Different organisations. One shared purpose.

To help more men feel connected, supported and valued, and ultimately reduce the number of lives lost to suicide.

This isn’t about recognition, competition or who gets the credit.

If another organisation saves a life, that’s a win for all of us.

Let’s work together. Let’s support each other. Let’s create real change.

ONE LESS. ❤️ by @onelesscommunity

947 MEN. THREE AUSTRALIAN STATES. 💔

According to figures published by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 947 suspected male suicide deaths were recorded across NSW, Queensland and Victoria during the first six to seven months of 2026.

And that’s only THREE states.

These are provisional figures, and more recent reports are now available.

Behind every number is a father, son, brother, husband or mate.

At ONE LESS, we believe change comes when we work together. Not one person. Not one organisation. All of us.

More connection. More belonging. More conversations. More action.

The mission is bigger than any one organisation.

No one person, no one organisation, and no single idea is going to solve the men’s mental health crisis alone.

And that’s why collaboration is so important.

Through ONE LESS, we’re building something we genuinely believe can change lives. But we also recognise there are incredible people and organisations out there making a difference in their own unique ways.

What works for one man might not work for another. And that’s exactly why we need each other.

This isn’t about competition, recognition or who has the best idea.

It’s about connection. Collaboration. Community. And ultimately, saving lives.

We need to stop working in isolation and start building each other up. Sharing ideas, creating opportunities and making sure men know there’s always somewhere to turn.

Because when the mission is to save lives, there should never be competition. Only a collective commitment to making a difference.

One mission. Many approaches. ONE LESS life lost. ❤️

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your mental health is simply MOVE.

When life gets heavy, it’s easy to look for something to take the pain away, something to numb what we’re feeling or provide temporary relief.

But movement gives us another option.

Whether it’s lifting weights, going for a walk, getting outside or training alongside a mate, physical activity can be a powerful way to support our mental health.

Not because it fixes everything. Not because it replaces professional help when we need it.

But because it gives us somewhere to START.

A chance to clear our heads, build confidence, create healthier habits and reconnect with ourselves.

And sometimes, that one small positive action is enough to help change the direction of someone’s day.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to take that first step.

Move your body. Connect with others. Keep showing up.

ONE LESS. One less life lost. 🖤

WHEN HE’S NOT OKAY, YOU FEEL IT TOO.

When your man is struggling mentally, it doesn’t always look like sadness.

Sometimes it looks like silence.
Being distant.
Snapping over little things.
Not wanting to talk.
Or saying “I’m fine” when you know something isn’t right.

And as his partner, you feel that distance.

You wonder if you’ve done something wrong.
You try harder to help.
You ask more questions.
You might even get frustrated because you don’t know how to reach him.

And before you know it, you’re both struggling… just in different ways.

Here’s the thing: you can support your partner without taking responsibility for fixing everything they’re going through.

You can give him space without disconnecting.
You can listen without trying to solve it all.
You can let him know you’re there while still being honest about how the distance affects you.

And fellas, letting your partner know you’re struggling can help her understand that you’re having a hard time, not shutting her out.

Neither of you should have to guess what’s happening inside the other person’s head.

You don’t have to get it right every time. You just have to keep finding your way back to each other.

That’s what being a team looks like.

Globally, suicide rates remain a serious concern, with men significantly more likely to take their own lives than women (WHO). Many boys grow up internalising the belief that they must cope alone, that vulnerability is weakness.

“Skyler and the Spooky Storm” aims to gently challenge that stigma and help raise a generation that sees speaking up and reaching out as acts of courage 💚

A picture book written by Dr Kousar Sadeghzadeh @kousarsadeghzadeh and illustrated by Indira Muzbulakova @mello.dee, it follows a devoted father ant navigating a powerful storm while trying to provide for his family. At its heart, the story carries an important message: real strength lies in asking for help.

Currently in production, the book is expected to be available on Amazon in the following formats:

📖 eBook: March 2027
📚 Paperback & Hardback: June 2027

MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS.

Sometimes the man who looks like he’s holding everything together is the one who’s struggling in silence.

The pressure to provide. To be a good dad. To be a good partner. To keep the bills paid, the family happy and everything moving forward.

And sometimes, when someone asks, “Are you okay?” the answer is simply, “Yeah, I’m fine.”

Not because nothing is happening… but because finding the words isn’t always easy.

As women, we often want to help. We want to find a solution, make things better and take the weight off the people we love.

But sometimes, our partner doesn’t need a solution. He needs a safe place to let it all out.

❤️ Ask him how he’s really doing.

❤️ Put your phone down and be present.

❤️ Listen without judgement or immediately offering advice.

❤️ Ask, “Do you want my advice, or do you just need me to listen?”

❤️ Remind him that he doesn’t have to have everything figured out to be loved and respected.

And to the men reading this: you don’t have to carry everything on your own. Opening up isn’t weakness, and you deserve support, too.

A strong relationship isn’t about one person carrying everything. It’s about knowing you can lean on each other.

That’s what being a team is all about.

Ladies, what’s one thing your partner does that makes you feel safe enough to open up? And fellas, what helps you feel comfortable talking about what’s really going on?

Save this. Share it with your partner. Start the conversation. by @onelesscommunity

ONE LESS. THE IMPACT IS BIGGER THAN ONE LIFE. 💙

Every single day in Australia, approximately 9 people die by suicide.

Almost 7 of them are men.

That’s one Australian man lost approximately every 3.5 hours.

But here’s something that really puts the scale of this crisis into perspective.

Research estimates that for every person lost to suicide, 135 people are exposed to that loss.

Family. Friends. Children. Partners. Workmates. Entire communities.

When you apply that estimate to Australia’s annual male suicide figures, that’s potentially over 340,000 ripple-effect exposures every single year.

Read that again.

340,000.

And that’s why ONE LESS means so much more than its name.

Because when we talk about helping one man stay alive, we’re not just talking about one person.

We’re talking about his children having their dad.

His partner having their person.

His parents having their son.

His mates having their mate.

And a future that gets to continue.

One less suicide isn’t just one life. It’s a ripple effect that extends to potentially 135 others.

We’re building ONE LESS because we believe connection, community and showing up for one another can make a difference.

We won’t pretend to have all the answers.

But we refuse to accept that nothing can change.

One less man lost. One more life lived. Hundreds of lives potentially touched by the difference.

This is our mission.

This is our purpose.

ONE LESS. 💙

We spend so much of our lives chasing success, achievements and the next big thing.

But what if our greatest purpose is found in what we give to others?

Sometimes the smallest act of kindness, the simplest conversation or just showing up for someone can make the biggest difference.

That’s what we’re trying to build with One Less.

One conversation. One connection. One less life lost. 💙

Not every man struggling with his mental health is ready to walk into a gym, join a men’s group or put his hand up and say, “I need help.”

For some men, even that first step feels impossible.

That’s why we’re building ONE LESS.

To create another way in.
To make connection easier.
To remind men that they don’t have to wait until they’re at breaking point to reach out.

Because sometimes the biggest difference starts with simply knowing you’re not alone.

ONE LESS. Men talking to men.
Less stigma. Less silence. More solutions. 🖤 by @onelesscommunity
