Topic Tuesday // Men's Mental Health and Peer Support // Tues 9th March, 7:00-8:30PM AEDT
Hello SANE forum members and readers 👋
This month we will be having two Topic Tuesday events!
On the 9th of March, 7:00-8:30pm AEDT we will be welcoming The Banksia Project as our special guest to talk about Men's Mental Health and their Peer Support Service.
Men's Mental Health and the work of The Banksia Project
The Banksia Project offer a preventative program to support the mental health and wellbeing of men across Australia. Their peer based services allow men to support each other, no matter where you are at in your recovery or wellbeing journey. From getting through the tough times, to building connection and community, The Banksia Project's Growth Rooms allow a space for mates to support mates in local communities and nationally.
This Topic Tuesday event will discuss Men's Mental Health, the role of mates supporting mates, and explore the opportunities for support through The Banksia Project's Growth Room Programs.
Here is a little bit about The Banksia Project and how they support men across Australia:

I'm new here - what is this?
The event runs from 7:00pm-8:30pm AEDT and is a live, facilitated Q&A style discussion with a special guest. Each month we focus on a different topic with the session facilitated by a Community Manager or Moderator, and joined by a Peer Support Worker.
The first post of the thread (this one) will give you an idea of what the topic is and what will be covered.
