Greetings reader,

In Melbourne Australia, a forum on International Men’s Day for those wanting to improve the Health & Wellbeing of Men in the Western Suburbs. Presented by the Melton-Brimbank Men’s health network which is a  pro-active grassroots organisation full of useful, relevant resources in the west. Details below from their flyer:

 

“This positive, practical, interactive forum will consider the current health & wellbeing outcomes relating to men, how local men fare compared with other areas, and what this evidence indicates. It will further explore priorities in addressing local men’s needs, how health & community organisations can better engage local men, what resources already exist to support this, and the potential benefits and opportunities for local service providers and communities”.

 

Where: Brimbank Men’s Shed @ UnitingCare Lentara 32 Withers Street, Sunshine

 

Date: Wednesday 19th November, 2014 – 9.45 am to 12.30 pm (arrive 9.30am)

On the interview front, there is more coming up. I’m currently editing a podcast i did with Technical death metal band Hadal Maw.

Take it easy out there.
