Thank you to everyone who supported our bid in Thursday night's Primary Health Network Change Makers pitch event. We managed to achieve a significant amount of support that will enable us to facilitate at least 10 mental health and resilience workshops to help combat Su***de on the coast in the next 12 months.
These workshops are free to attend and run from Toukley Neighbourhood Centre Inc on Summerside St Toukley and other venues. Each workshop could mean 1 man learns the skills to step away from going far when crisis strikes.
These workshops are evidence based, trauma informed where men are encouraged to bring their partners, a significant other person or team up with another participant to continue the conversation after the training.
You will receive a workbook and where possible a copy of my book Reclaim Your Power for further reading. Central Coast Men's Walk and Talk operates as the perfect follow up for the workshops and where there is not Men's Walk on the Coast we are encouraging and offering support for men to start their own.
Please consider attending or bring the man in your life as we all need this training. Imagine a community elwhere su***de is low or even rare, men talk about their problems and help others to do so in a supportive constructive fashion.
This is my dream for the coast everyone of you has helped in some small way. Let's make our community what we want it to be instead of dealing with the negative consequences of what su***de has made it.
Please DM or comment interested below if you'd like to attend and I'll be in touch.
