The Macedon Ranges Suicide Prevention Action Group (MRSPAG) is preparing to host an event aimed at improving mental health and promoting positive discussion among local men.
Set for Thursday, May 22, and hosted in partnership with Murray Primary Health Network and Tomorrow Man, the free workshop titled A Night Out with the Blokes aims to promote meaningful conversations and strengthen mental resilience among men in the local community.
The two-hour workshop aims to provide men with the opportunity to take time out, reflect, and engage in discussions that build self-confidence and emotional strength.
According to a MRSPAG spokesperson, the event will facilitate “open and honest conversations,” where attendees will be “able to explore the evolution of masculinity, examining where traditional stereotypes have led men and envisioning a healthier, more connected future.”
“With societal expectations shifting, many men, young and old, can feel isolated or unsure of how to navigate modern challenges. This workshop offers a supportive space to break down barriers, challenge outdated beliefs, and encourage healthier perspectives on manhood and mental well-being,” the spokesperson said.
“By addressing these critical issues in a safe and engaging environment, A Night Out with the Blokes is a chance for men to connect, reflect, and grow.”
The event will be hosted on Thursday, May 22, at the Newham Mechanics Institute Hall, 1292 Rochford Road, Newham.
Doors will open at 6pm and the workshop will run from 6.30–8.30pm.
Finger food and drinks will be provided on arrival at 6pm.
