Sons of the West

There’s nothing better than having a chat with a friend and the Sons of the West program is back to give men that sense of community again.

The Sons of the West program guides discussions and provides opportunities to increase physical and mental health, and is delivered by Council in partnership with Western Bulldogs Community Foundation.

This free 10-week men's health program is open to men living, working or recreating in the City of Maribyrnong.

Participants learn about a broad range of health topics, increase their physical activity levels, enjoy eating healthier food and make improvements to their mental wellbeing. Most importantly, they share a health and wellbeing journey with support from other like-minded men in Maribyrnong.

Previous Sons of the West programs have covered the following health topics:

Nutrition
Mental health
Cultural diversity
Gender equity
Cancer prevention
Alcohol habits
Gambling harm
Heart health.

Registrations for the 2025 program commencing in March will open in early 2025. You can register your interest in the program below and you will be contacted closer to registrations opening.
