The Restaurant Using Burgers to Start Conversations about Men’s Mental Health

This year, Men’s Health Week is focusing on “building healthy environments for men and boys,” which is more important than ever, in the wake of a pandemic. One such community is Barstool Brothers – a community which was founded by Lachlan Stevens – owner of Wollongong burger bar, His Boy Elroy.

His Boy Elroy holds monthly catch ups in store, with free burgers for Barstool Brothers Members, as well as many external events such as hikes and golf days.

Barstool Brothers General Manager Daniel Chin joined Hope Drive to share how the group is encouraging men to form community and open up about their mental health. (And no, you don’t need to drink to join!)

Listen to Daniel’s full interview on Hope Drive in the player above.

To join Barstool Brothers, visit their Facebook group, or visit His Boy Elroy in Wollongong, on the second Tuesday of the month.
