As the driving force behind the instigation of the Buderim Men’s Shed, our Club has a long history of supporting men’s mental health. For this reason we were particularly interested in finding out more about one of the newer support initiatives for men, Grab Life By The Balls.
Sam & Larry gave us a great presentation introducing us to the work they are doing to provide targeted support, how the initiative started, & its expanding reach.
Based on a very simple concept of blokes getting together in a casual, fun setting, to simply ‘shoot the breeze’, & providing a supportive environment where men can feel comfortable to open up, share experiences & concerns, confident that they’re not alone in dealing with issues. Or…just simply enjoy time with mates. All very therapeutic.
Thankyou, Sam & Larry, for the great work you are doing in our community for an issue which is in desperate need of addressing.
