Looking after the men
in our community
By Maree Fayne
I remember when I was growing up never
seeing my dad go to the doctors for a regular
check-up or even having time off work through
illness.
It went along with the old saying “she’ll be
right mate” and “I’m O.K mate, don’t worry
about me”.
Although through education and information
men’s attitude towards their health has
changed, busy life style has become the new
hurdle.
We all recognise how difficult it can be
to make time for our health and wellbeing in
busy everyday lives, but despite the barriers
and obstacles to better health that life puts
in the way, we also need to make the most of
opportunities that come our way. One of these
opportunities is Mens Health Week which is
held every year in June. Mens Health week
provides many opportunities to take time and
reflect on personal Health and Wellness and the
surrounding issues in our lives that are causing
problems , all we need to do is pass the word
along to make the community aware of what is
available.
This year’s theme for Mens Health ‘MoMENts
In Time’ will be held between June 15-21 and
enc ourages us to make time for healthier men,
boys and families (www.menshealthweek.org.
au)
Another opportunity for our men of
the future is the National Boy’s Health
Forum: Building A Stronger Future For
Our Boys - Sydney - NSW - May 28
entre is free ( http://www.topblokes.
org.au ). This event presents three
critical social issues: family violence,
mental health and social well-being.
The National Boy’s Health Forum
will present the latest research that
demonstrates how these issues can
improve by addressing young male
social health and welfare. This will be
followed by a panel discussion on how
changes in government, education
and business can improve the state
of family violence, mental health
and other social barriers affecting
Australian young men.
Riverstone Neighbourhood Centre
Men’s shed programs and the projects
that the men have taken part in
have made an extraordinary
difference to their lives and
others in the Community.
This year during that time Riverstone
Neighbourhood Centre in partnership with
members of the WSMARS (Western Sydney
men and relationship network) will be holding
a special Mens health and education event
in the grounds of the Community garden at
Riverstone on Thursday 18 June 10.30am –
2.00pm.
This will be a great opportunity for both
Community and services that address the
needs of men’s health. We will also be launching
the 2015 edition of the “Blokes Book”, what
a great resource, over 60 pages filled with
information and services to assist men with
better live choices to improve their lives.
A Men’s health Pitstop will also be available
on the day as well as guest speaker John
Walker speaking on men and depression,
Motorcycle display, Information stalls service
providers who support men and relationships
finished off with delicious BBQ lunch provided.
WHAT A GREAT DAY!
If you would like more information or would
like to be part of the event, please contact
Leah at Riverstone Neighbourhood Centre on
