This is a Spur Projects plan

Plan Description:

Soften the F*** Up is the first of, hopefully, a few more campaigns to come in challenging young men's perception of "real man" with the hope of reducing stigma around mental health and all its associated issues amongst young men.

My Big reasons are:

Suicide is the number 1 cause of death amongst young people and 80% of all suicide is men. There is lack of program that targets young men, or communicate well with young men regarding mental health issues. Most of all, we have a strong culture where men do not recognise that depression and other mental health issues is a health problem.

My plan will be a success when:

We have our videos, website and social media all going and have a team of supporter and ambassadors.

It’s no Big deal, but you don’t currently have any PlanBig supporters. Here are some ideas to help get people excited about your plan:

  1. Tell everyone you know through your social networks. Ask them to spread the word about your Big idea.
  2. Re-jig your plan name to sound as compelling as possible. Think Big and bold.
  3. Revise your plan description to successfully communicate the issue as well as your passion.
