Who is this event for?

Men, boys and anyone with an interest in the issues impacting men and boys is invited!

Men and boys need more spaces to talk. This session will include a facilitated discussion and Q&A, with a panel of experts and regular local blokes you might know. We’ll be talking about a range of issues affecting boys and men, such as mental health, relationships, the pressure to ‘provide’, the fallout in peer groups if you don’t conform to traditional ideas about masculinity, and how to respectfully pull up a loved one when they’re out of line.
