Wyndham council are calling on men aged 18 and over living or working in the west, to
take up a free 10-week health program that takes a holistic approach to improving
men’s health.
The latest Sons of the West program, to be delivered jointly by Wyndham council, the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation and Western Leisure Services, was announced at Whitten Oval on Wednesday as part of 10th anniversary celebrations for the Bulldogs men’s health initiative.
Beginning on March 6, two Sons of the West sessions will meet every Wednesday at Eagle Stadium in Werribee, with the morning group running 11.30am to 1.30pm and the evening group from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.
Wyndham councillor Peter Maynard was present at the launch and said Sons of the
West is an invaluable program for men seeking to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
“Sons of the West makes exercise and healthy eating fun and easily integrated into
everyday life,” he said.
“Another positive change men make in their lives following this program, is improved
contact with health services. Many past participants now make visiting doctors, dentists, or specialised services such as counselling or physiotherapy, part of their regular health routine.
I encourage men who want to improve their physical and mental health to come
along and take part in Sons of the West. It is a great way to make positive personal
change and meet friends along the way.”
The two-hour weekly sessions teach men how to improve their health and wellbeing and learn about range of topics affecting them and their families.
