How to Use This Page

This Library & Downloads page pulls together different resources across the Men’s Mental Health Hub so you don’t have to hunt around. Everything is laid out in shelves so you can choose what fits your energy and needs today.

You might want to:

• Start with a guide that matches what you’re going through (for example: mood, burnout, relationships).
• Grab a worksheet or planner you can print or use in appointments.
• Bookmark this page and come back when you’re ready for another step.

You never have to do everything at once. Take what feels helpful, leave what doesn’t, and come back whenever you’re ready.

Choose a shelf that fits what you’re looking for right now. Some items are ready now and others are marked as Coming Soon as the hub grows.

📝 Downloads & Printables

These downloads are designed to be simple, repeatable tools you can use on your own or alongside therapy, coaching or support groups.

Core Men’s Mental Health Tools

• Daily / Weekly Self-Care Planner – Coming Soon
• Feelings & Needs Check-In for Men – Coming Soon
• Grounding & Coping Tools Tracker – Coming Soon
• Support Network Map (Who Can I Reach Out To?) – Coming Soon
• Emergency & Safety Plan Template – Coming Soon

As new worksheets and planners are created, they’ll be added here and to the main Men’s Mental Health – Worksheets & Tools page.

🔍 Deep-Dive Topics for Men (Coming Soon)

These topics will eventually have their own pages, guides or mini-workbooks. For now, they’re listed here so you can see what’s in the pipeline.

• Men & Depression – understanding low mood, numbness and shutdown.
• Men, Anger & Shutdown – what anger can look like, and what’s underneath it.
• Suicide & Crisis in Men – warning signs, safety plans and how to support yourself or a mate.
• Fatherhood & Mental Health – parenting, pressure, identity and support.
• ND Men & Masking – autism/ADHD, masking, burnout and unmasking safely.
• Work & Burnout in Men – stress, overload, expectations and rest.

When these pages are live, links will be added here and into the main Men’s Mental Health Hub navigation.

📂 Extra Resources & Cross-Hub Guides

Some resources sit across multiple hubs (not just men’s mental health). These can still be really helpful if they match what you’re going through.

• Mood Disorders Study Guide – for people wanting to understand mood swings, depression and bipolar in more depth.
• Introduction to Mental Health Study Guide – big-picture overview of mental health, myths vs facts, and where to get support.
• Mental Health Reflections & Worksheets – practical reflection pages for anyone wanting to process feelings in a gentle way.

You’ll find these in other parts of the Education Hub as well – this page simply gathers them in one place for men and masculine-identifying people who may find them helpful.

🚨 If You Feel Unsafe or in Crisis

If you ever feel like you may harm yourself or someone else — or are overwhelmed and don’t feel safe — please reach out immediately:

• Call 111 (NZ) / your local emergency number
• Go to your nearest hospital emergency department
• Contact a trusted friend, whānau member, or support person
• Use a crisis helpline if you can safely call or text
