Mental health is the leading cause of death among Australians aged 14-45 (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2022). At The Good Human Factory, we're committed to addressing this by empowering individuals with practical tools to improve their mental health every day. Our mission is to guide people from merely surviving to truly thriving through simple, positive mental health habits.
Founded by professional surfer Cooper Chapman, The Good Human Factory offers unique workshops that avoid discussing anxiety, depression, and suicide. Instead, our approach is rooted in education and action. Cooper brings insights from his 15-year career as a top 100 surfer in the world, as well as lessons learned from interviewing over 150 experts in mental health and positive wellbeing, sharing real-world knowledge that participants can use to boost their daily routines and support mental wellness.
Our feedback shows that these workshops help participants shift their perspective on mental health, making it relatable, accessible, and even cool. We believe mental health isn’t the same as mental illness, and our goal is for participants to leave feeling confident and equipped with habits that can support them long-term.
Our workshops are interactive, skills-based, and designed to inspire participants to incorporate mental wellbeing into their daily lives. We provide workshops and keynotes for high school students and teachers, corporate workplaces, sports clubs, conferences, and events, led by Cooper and a team of inspiring presenters. Together, we’re fostering a culture where mental health care becomes an everyday habit.
