Find your healthy habits

A free program designed to help men improve their physical and mental wellbeing is returning to Sunbury.

Established by the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation, the Sons of the West program will be run for 10 weeks from Tuesday March 15 as a joint effort with Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health.

The course, which is available to anyone over 18 years of age, will receive expert advice from physiologists, dieticians and psychologists on how to develop healthy habits.

Western Bulldogs Community Foundation general manager Kashif Bouns said there was something for everyone at this unique course.

“I encourage any man of any age to take the plunge and get involved,” he said.

“Bring a friend, brother, father or uncle and follow in the footsteps of thousands of men who have already benefited from the diverse range of sessions offered.”

This will be the fifth year the program has been facilitated in Sunbury.

Previous participant Bryan said he was glad he gave it a go.

“I found the education topics really interesting and varied,” he said.

“As well as learning about what foods I should be cutting down on to improve my weight, there were talks on mental health, gender equity and masculinity.”

Early registration is recommended.
