ABOUT US

The Soul Brothers initiative by Men’s Health Trust NZ has transitioned from a centralized model to a community-embedded approach. This evolution is exemplified by the launch of Soul Brothers 274 in partnership with the Ōtara Rugby League Scorpions. This program is co-designed with local stakeholders to address the specific needs of young men and their families in South Auckland.

Looking ahead, the success of Soul Brothers 274 will inform the expansion of this community-centric model to other regions across Aotearoa, ensuring that services are delivered in collaboration with local organizations to maximize impact.

SOUL BROTHERS 274 - OVERVIEW

SOUL BROTHERS SYSTEM

MASTER EVERY PART OF YOUR LIFE

The Soul Brothers System is a transformative framework that empowers men to lead purpose-driven lives and create lasting impact. Built around seven core elements—Mindset, Health, Wealth, Relationships, Homelife, Identity (Ancestry), and Legacy—it serves as a dynamic roadmap for personal and collective growth.

By fostering resilience, connection, and purpose, the system equips men to improve their lives while strengthening families and uplifting communities. Rooted in the mission of "Better Men, Better Families, Better Communities," the Soul Brothers System inspires men to build a meaningful legacy and drive generational change.

HOW WE WORK

After years of co-design and development, we now offer two Soul Brothers systems: the Foundation system—a 7-week journey through the 7 core elements—and the Custom system, tailored to individual or organisational needs, such as the Soul Brothers 274 model.

SOULBROTHERS FOUNDATION SYSTEM

The SOULBROTHERS Foundation System provides a comprehensive 7-week journey through the 7 core elements of the Soul Brothers framework, aiming to drive positive health, social, economic, and cultural outcomes.

SOULBROTHERS CELEBRATION

GOODFELLAS

When you become a SOULBROTHER member, you subscribe to a set of values and conditions that encourages you to help yourself and others along the way and give back. Men's Health Trust has its GOODFELLAS initiative which serves to channel our members through COMMUNITY SERVICE projects.

SOUL BROTHERS FELLOWSHIP

This is a during and post-program activity where every month we encourage our SOULBROTHERS members to get together for 'brotherhood' and 'fellowship time.' This is a casual way to stay connected, uplifted and to support those SOULBROTHERS who might need a little more support than others.

SOUL BROTHERS POST-PROGRAM SUPPORT

We encourage our SOULBROTHERS members to push on with the momentum they've gained through the program and thereon become self-managing and independent. However we also believe in providing continued support whenever members need support.

CHECKMATES

We recognise that as a Trust, Men's Health Trust NZ cannot do everything. So this is why we encourage SOULBROTHERS members to check on your mate, through your assigned 'SOULBROTHER and support group. We also encourage our members to get an annual doctors check every year especially in the Men's Health Month every year in June to drive home the importance to getting regularly checked by your doctors and other professionals.

SOUL BROTHERS ANNUAL ASSEMBLY

Men's Health Trust NZ as part of the annual Men's Health Week and Health Month awareness undertaken globally, we will be holding our first SOULBROTHERS Assembly. This assembly will be important to stay connected, to keep up to date and aware of current Men's Health Issues and Developments. This forum also presents an opportunity to work collectively to support Men's Health locally, nationally within NZ and around the world.

SOUL BROTHERS CENTRES

During the COVID pandemic, participants of Men's Health Trust NZ services, revealed they needed a safe space to regenerate.

Our hope is that as we look to help men become better men through the SOULBROTHERS program, we are committed to realising the need of men by establishing SOULBROTHERS CENTRES starting off in South Auckland and thereon looking to expand wherever there is a need.

We encourage our members, providers and partners to donate and support where they can.

"The wrap-around service that is SOUL BROTHERS provides another step up to what Men’s Health Trust NZ has provided previously. One of the key things for me has been improving my financial literacy, so to see Men’s Health Trust NZ roll out its financial support system as an element of SOUL BROTHERS was a need and a highlight for me."
