For Organisations
The men in your school, your company, your department — they are already carrying this. The question is whether you are going to help them with it, or leave them to manage it alone.
The Case for This Work
Seventy-six percent of suicides are male. One in three men feels emotionally disconnected from his partner. One in five men has no close friend he can talk to honestly. Men are three times more likely than women to become dependent on alcohol. They are significantly less likely to seek help when they are struggling.
These are not personal failures. They are the predictable consequences of a culture that told men to perform and never taught them how to stop. The performance begins in school. It is reinforced at work. It is exhausting, isolating, and — at the extreme end — lethal.
The organisations that address this are not just doing good work. They are reducing absenteeism, improving retention, lowering conflict, and building the kind of culture where men can actually function — rather than just perform.
The MASKULUS framework is not a wellness programme. It is a return to self — structured, evidence-informed, and delivered in a way that men will actually engage with.
Who We Work With
Boys are learning to perform before they know what they are performing. The earlier the message reaches them — you are enough — the less damage the performance does. We work with schools to bring the MASKULUS framework into pastoral care, personal development programmes, and teacher training.
Schools enquiry →The men in your workforce are carrying things they are not talking about. The result is presenteeism, conflict, poor decision-making, and — at the extreme — sudden departures or breakdowns. We work with HR departments, leadership teams, and employee wellbeing programmes to address this at the root.
Corporate enquiry →Men's mental health is a public health issue. The cost to healthcare systems, criminal justice, and social services of unaddressed masculine distress is significant and well-documented. We work with government departments and public sector organisations to develop policy-relevant programmes and public awareness campaigns.
Government enquiry →Therapists, counsellors, GPs, and social workers encounter the consequences of masculine distress every day. We offer training, resources, and the MASKULUS framework as a clinical tool — a structured way of working with men that meets them where they are.
Healthcare enquiry →Men's groups in faith communities are often the only space where men gather with any regularity. We work with faith leaders and community organisations to bring the MASKULUS framework into these existing structures — respectfully, and without imposing a secular framework where it is not welcome.
Community enquiry →Sport is one of the few spaces where men are genuinely present in their bodies. We work with sports clubs, gyms, and fitness organisations to bring the message into environments where men are already gathered and already open.
Sport enquiry →What We Offer
Bulk copies of Man Enough for distribution to staff, students, or members. We offer institutional pricing and can provide a facilitator guide for group reading and discussion.
A site licence for The MASKULUS Awakening — six audio modules, one per territory. Men can work through it individually, or it can be used as the basis for a facilitated group programme.
A half-day or full-day workshop facilitated by Annette Riggelsen, delivered in-person or online. Designed for groups of 8–24 men. Can be adapted for mixed groups with a specific focus on the masculine experience.
A 45–60 minute keynote presentation for conferences, all-staff events, or leadership gatherings. Annette speaks from twenty years of direct clinical work with men — no theory, no jargon, no slides full of statistics. Just the truth, told plainly.
A sustained partnership over 12 months — combining books, audio, workshops, keynote, and ongoing consultation. Designed for organisations that want to make a genuine, lasting difference to the men in their care.
