Registrations are now open for a free health program designed to improve physical, mental and social wellbeing for men aged 18 and over in Melton.
Sons of the West is a life-changing 10-week program that will cover fitness, nutrition, mental health and more.
The weekly sessions provided by health professionals, facilitators and men-alike will see participants learn about the best way of looking after themselves and will be introduce to resources and local services to help continue to support their journey.
A previous participant of the program, Jim Adamopoulos said through the program he was able to increase my physical activity, improve my mental health and psychological wellbeing, and most importantly increase my confidence and feelings of self-worth.
“Sons of the West was part of my recovery journey, having battled depression and anxiety for some time and being the primary carer of a child with a disability which can be isolating,” Mr Adamopoulos said.
Sons of the West is delivered by the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation in partnership and will run in two locations in the Melton.
Sessions will be held in Cobblebank on Tuesdays from March 18 to May 27 (except on April 22), from 10am-noon, at Cobblebank Stadium.
