This is exactly what Men's Sheds, like ours, are all about.
Helping men, looking after their mental health, giving men a safe space to talk, a space to just be men while helping the community at the same time.
Our shed is strong. Don't judge us by our current location, we have always & will always, be here for the men of this community.
👏 A strong endorsement for the Men's Shed movement!
The Victorian Men's Shed Association has received a powerful endorsement from Dr Mukesh Haikerwal AC, a leading GP with a distinguished record in mental health advocacy, former Board member of Beyond Blue, and current Board Member and acting CEO of Brain Injury Australia.
After reviewing VMSA's independent evaluation report, Dr Haikerwal, described Men's Sheds as offering a safe space that meets a fundamental need, reducing isolation, building self-worth, and delivering real returns for participant health and wellbeing.
Summing it up, he called the program "a shining example of community activity, social cohesion and volunteerism."
