About
Growing up is never easy. For a lot of young men, it can feel like they have to figure it all out on their own. But maybe you’ve had questions, doubts or challenges, but didn’t know who to talk to, or if anyone would really understand.
We know what it’s like to want support but not know where to find it. That’s why we created something we wish we had when we were younger.
Bare-Hugs is here to give young men a safe, online space to talk, grow and be heard — without judgement.
We connect you with real mentors and role models from across Australia. Whether it’s about life, relationships, career, confidence, or just figuring things out, you don’t have to do it alone. We’re building a supportive community where strength and self-respect go hand in hand, to equip you with the tools to navigate challenges, build meaningful connections and succeed in life.
Our Values
Community
Communication
Because together we are stronger, divided we fall.​​
To be able to listen with an open mind, share with an open heart is key to creating healthy relationships. And because when a problem is shared, it is halved.
Respect
Leadership
Integrity
Everyone has the right to have an opinion and to be heard, but everyone also has the right to feel safe and be treated with dignity.
The world needs good people taking the lead to create a better future.
When fake is at the forefront everywhere, we get back to basics: strong morals, authenticity and honesty.
