The IF Project

The IF Project is a men's mental health and wellbeing initiative focussed on providing support to men across the globe.

'If' by Rudyard Kipling serves as the framework for the digital therapy tools - turning the 'Ifs' the poem presents into 'Hows'.

Background

The IF Project is driven with heart by Darwin businessman Clinton Hoffmann who tragically lost a close friend to suicide in 2016. Our aim is to de-mystify and de-stigmatise mental health by delivering therapy tools to men everywhere in a common language that anyone can understand.

The first step was to animate the 'IF' by Rudyard Kipling, a relatable poem which line-by-line talks about an aspect of self awareness and self development. The IF Guide was then created that builds upon the twelve 'IFs' in the poem. The IF App was then developed as a platform for men to access the eBook and other tools.
