Be Your Most Authentic Self

The Men’s Development Network is a non-profit organisation headquartered in Waterford, Ireland, with the key focus on being leaders in promoting change and equality within society. 

Approaching our work from a transforming masculinities and gender-justice perspective, we have over 25 years of positive engagement with men, boys, women’s organisations, and other like-minded partners.. 

Under the mission statement “Better Lives for Men; Better Lives for All,” the Men’s Development Network interacts with men on various levels including one-to-one, developmental, parenting, behaviour change group work, training, phoneline support and awareness raising.

Our funded projects include the Men’s Development and Men’s Health Programmes, the MEND Domestic Violence Intervention Programme, the national Male Advice Line, and a Men’s Counselling Service. We also run many sub-programmes (see main menu) at local, regional and national level.
