"Su***de rates not good, divorce rates not good. We need to do something about men's mental health.

Mental health is a quiet suffering. We want to see men supporting men, it could be issues with wife, issues holding a job and issues being a father. There is no judgement, just a safe space."
-- Danny Loong, Amicus Partner, MenToo Co-founder

Why S’pore Fails Its Men & Gen Z To Blame For SG’s Dead Nightlife? | MenToo Founder | #838 Timbre Group CEO Danny Loong recently started MenToo, encouraging S...

We didn’t expect this many messages.

Since MenToo started, the inquiries haven’t slowed down: men asking where to find a group like this, men asking if there’s one closer to them, men asking if their friend can join even though he’s “not really the type” for this stuff.

That’s not a coincidence. It’s a signal. The need was always there, it just didn’t have anywhere to go.

So we’re doing something about the gap: Amicus has signed an MOU with the Society for Men’s Health Singapore, so there’s a real, resourced answer the next time someone asks “where do I even start.”

If you know a man who’s been quietly looking for that answer, you can encourage him to join a Mens' community here https://nas.com/mentoo/digital-files/mentoo-mens-groups

Men, you are not alone.

There is support. You are not weak for reaching out. You are investing in yourself. You are thinking forward for your families.

Meanwhile, here are some steps you can take.

1. Find healthy outlets to release the pressure
2. Join one Men’s Group within the MenToo community https://nas.com/mentoo/digital-files/mentoo-mens-groups
3. Find mentors
4. Engage a coach / therapist / psychologist

Connect today, we get stronger together.

A conversation that started in Singapore is now being heard across the region.

This week, South China Morning Post featured MenToo and the men choosing to speak openly about what they carry.

One of them, Amir Khan, put it better than we could: "I realised that strength actually means having the courage to ask for help when you're not at your best. And I think that's what the MenToo movement teaches men to do."

That's the whole idea. Strength isn't going it alone. It's knowing when to reach out.
To everyone helping these conversations grow: this is your story being heard too.

Just this Friday, we sat in on something quietly moving. Fathers and their children, building side by side in a hands-on workshop. The real thing being built, though, was attention. The kind that says I see you, and I'm here.

That's the thing about fathers.

You are more important than you know. More appreciated than you know. The impact you make rarely announces itself, but it lasts.

And the research agrees. Across decades of studies, children with engaged, warm fathers show stronger emotional and social development, and better academic outcomes too. One recent finding even suggests this effect is felt most strongly among children here in Asia.

So to every father reading this: we believe in you, we honour you, and we respect you. Today and every day, we're cheering you on.

Happy Father's Day.

Something is shifting in how Singapore talks about men.

Last week, The Straits Times ran a piece on abused husbands, men rarely recognised as victims, and even more rarely believed. This week, The Business Times published a thoughtful piece on Singapore men, and on the launch of MenToo.

Two papers, in a single week. A conversation that has been waiting is starting to find its voice.

One question from the BT piece has stayed with us, from Brian Liu of Bros Before Woes: maybe the real question isn't whether Singapore men are oppressed, but what kind of men Singapore produces.

That moves the conversation past pity or competition, and onto something we can shape: the systems, expectations, and silences that form how men learn to live, love, and ask for help.

This is what MenToo was built for, alongside Bros Before Woes and the 11 other groups who signed the charter on 6 June. It's also why we've partnered with Murdoch University for five years to conduct research on topics related to men, so that what we build for men rests on evidence, and reaches them in ways that actually work.

Thanks to both papers for treating this seriously, and to every group showing up to do the work. Bros Before Woes, Centre For Fathering, Real Men Co, The Ordinary Dad, Forum On The Richness Of Manhood, Men-Kind, The Fireside Circle, Alpha X, Anchored Men, SG Dads and The Man Club.

This is what it looks like when men show up for each other.

Real pain. Real stories. Real questions.

Real support. Real solidarity. Real partnerships.

On Saturday, MenToo launched, and men's groups across Singapore signed the MenToo Charter together.

Today The Straits Times published this: "Abused husbands in S’pore who are unseen" ; this we know first hand. That is why on Saturday, MenToo needed to become real.

To every group, every man, and everyone who showed up: thank you. To Eric Chua, thank you for being here. The charter is signed. Now the real work begins.

And if you, or someone you care about, is carrying something heavy, Amicus is here to help.
