He. Waikato - A Men's Mental Health Charity Event
Description
JOIN US FOR A POWERFUL NIGHT SHINING A LIGHT ON MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH
Welcome to He. Waikato—our fourth event, and our first outside of the Bay of Plenty.
After two sold-out He. events and a sold-out She. event, it’s clear these spaces are needed. The demand has continued to grow, and we’re proud to be bringing He. to the Waikato community.
This isn’t your typical event.
He. is about real stories, real conversations, and creating a space where people can show up as they are. No pressure. No pretending. Just honesty, connection, and community.
Join us for an impactful evening as we bring together a lineup of incredible speakers who will share their personal journeys with mental health—the highs, the lows, and everything in between. The kind of stories that remind you… you’re not alone in what you’re navigating.
Your ticket includes a welcome drink on arrival, a quality dinner, and a curated goodie bag. Throughout the evening, you’ll also have the opportunity to connect with like-minded people, take part in giveaways, and be part of something that genuinely makes a difference.
What makes He. special is the room.
There’s something powerful that happens when people come together like this—walls come down, conversations open up, and people leave feeling more connected, more understood, and more supported.
Whether you’re doing well, doing it tough, or somewhere in between—this space is for you.
Tickets are strictly limited—and if our previous events are anything to go by, this will sell out.
Come along. Bring your mates. Be part of something that matters.
