A not-for-profit organisation aiming to remove the stigma around Australian men being open and honest about their mental and emotional trauma has recently visited multiple locations across the Western Plains.

Find Ya Feet has spent time in communities such as Trangie and Narromine in the past and last week paid its first visit to the Coonamble township, which saw over a dozen local blokes from different generations and walks of life come along to the local golf club to take part.

The workshop took a very casual approach with the boys using prompts from organisation founder and presenter Tommy Herschell, such as 'worst beer you've drunk' and 'worst hangover you can remember', to start up conversations in small groups by sharing humorous stories and anecdotes.

These later led into more difficult exercises where they were encouraged to acknowledge certain statistics about mental health issues among Australian men.

Mr Herschell said he was grateful to all the Coonamble men who were willing to be open and honest about their past and wanting to make a change in their lives for the better.

"There were some champion older fellas that said 'we're from a generation where we weren't allowed to do this sort of stuff' and the beautiful thing about them saying that is that it showed they wanted to see a change," he said.

"We're not trying to change the culture of blokes - I love being a fella, I love having a laugh and a beer and those sorts of things. What we're doing is just giving blokes a toolbox to deal with the harder stuff.

"There was another champion tonight who stood up in front of everyone and spoke about seeing a counsellor - you wouldn't have known he was doing that if he hadn't taken that chance to stand up and he inspired everyone."

One of the men who attended Tuesday night's workshop was Mo Jacobs. Mr Jacobs said it was powerful to experience what he called "the honest truth between men".

"Some of the questions were stuff you don't really think about or realise you're going through and to look shoulder to shoulder and see other men going through the same thing," Mr Jacobs said.

"It was unbelievable to see a different side to friends that don't always share. It opened my eyes and I think a lot more need to sit here and go through the same thing."

A schoolteacher by trade, Mr Herschell - along with Find Ya Feet board member Josh May - also held a workshop for a group of teenaged boys from Coonamble High School while he was in town.

He said hearing the group of young Coonamble men being so willing to talk about their issues publicly was amazing.

"When we first walked into the room, every young fella got up, walked over and shook our hands and that was the minute I knew that it was going to be a powerful, epic afternoon," he said.

"And within 15 minutes, the boys were sharing stories that they had been holding on to and there were blokes sitting with best friends in the room and didn't know what their mates had been through."

While it was his first time out as far as Coonamble, Mr Herschell and Find Ya Feet are not strangers to regional NSW.

While he is based on the coast, Mr Herschell said running workshops at local schools in the townships of Narromine and Trangie was part of the early stages of the organisation four years ago and they were a regular stop for him when he visits the regions.

"Every time we walk into a room there, the young fellows are absolutely incredible with how they speak, how they want to speak, how they want to be, where they want to be, why they want to do the work, and that comes down to the culture of the school and the people we get to work with," he said.

"We're not experts, I'm just a bloke who knows we've got to go past the 'how are you?'. We've got to ask kids how they're feeling, say 'mate, you look exhausted, why?' rather than tell them to get outside because they're ruining the class.

"So Narromine and Trangie have always been a huge success, not because of us but because of Narromine and Trangie and the people that are involved on the ground.

"So our whole principle is an inkblot on the page and we slowly will in 15 years hopefully be across the whole of rural New South Wales delivering this work, but we're not rushing it out."
