The Blokes Book

A resource for local men and their families

Local organisation Dads HQ has launched The Hawke’s Bay Blokes Book, focusing on wellbeing for local men and their families with a distribution of free copies into the community.

We have copies of The Blokes Book for free at all three Distract Libraries, but you can also access a digital copy on the Dads HQ website by clicking the button below.

It is known that men’s partners and families also feel the economic and social impacts of men’s ill health.
That's why Dads HQ created the Blokes Book for Hawke’s Bay.

Living longer, more enjoyable lives takes a little work, but we’re all up for it.Together, we just have to take those small steps and start. 8 Kiwi families every day lose a loved partner, father or tupuna to a PREVENTABLE illness, one they didn’t need to die from. That’s so wrong.

Almost one Kiwi man in four will die before they reach retirement age. One in four of us won’t live to retire!

We saw a gap in support for Men's health and wellbeing locally. With no dedicated mens wellness hub we created the first Blokes Book for Hawke’s Bay back in 2019. 

Since then we have circulated close to 20,000 copies across our region into workplaces, sport clubs and libraries receiving amazing support and ongoing requests for more copies.
Version 3 has been created from scratch, it's a whole new Blokes Book, full of ways to live your best life, tips and information as well as local services here to help and support men and their families.
