Man Cave Program
2022 Hennessy Catholic College Man Cave program and details
Man Cave was founded in Victoria in 2014 by Hunter Johnson and Jamin Heppell. Both men were driven by a lifelong passion for social change and seeing the impact of mental illness and domestic violence within their own communities, felt the need to work with young men at a preventative level, empowering them to become great men for themselves, their relationships and their communities.
Since those early days, Man Cave has gone from strength to strength, impacting more than 30,000 boys, parents and teachers across Australia with programs that allow young men to explore and express their full humanity. The Man Cave team are charismatic, relatable and highly trained male facilitators who come from a range of backgrounds. The organisation has gathered global support from The Royal Family, and appeared on all major TV and news publications for the continued positive impact in communities.
Their vision is to “create a world in which every man has healthy relationships, contributes to his community and reaches his full potential”. Their mission is to “empower boys to become great men by providing them and their communities with impactful programs, role models and resources.”

For parents and carers
Man Cave guest speaker, David Berdugo, will outline the current challenges teenage boys are facing and some of the key tools, strategies and mindsets that Man Cave facilitators use to combat these and facilitate boys’ journey to manhood. He will outline what Man Cave facilitators are seeing in the workshops they run with teenage boys and speak about the current challenges they believe boys are facing as well as some key research insights.
We invite anyone who has an interest in raising boys, of all ages, to come along for one important hour. Please invite anyone in our Hilltops community you think may be interested – there is no cost and no registration is necessary. Our aim is to reach as many families within the Hilltops community as possible so that everyone can benefit from what they hear.
Wednesday 14th September, 6.30pm – 7.30pm, Hennessy Catholic College Hall
