April 16th, 2022Male mentors needed

Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health is running a six-week program which aims to explore the important role mentors play in guiding young people as they move towards adulthood.
The program, facilitated by The Man Cave Academy, will cover topics such as masculine stereotypes and the impact these can have, and the importance of encouraging boys to reach their full potential by focusing on their strengths. The sessions will draw on the knowledge and diversity within the group exploring heathy, positive alternatives to support boys on their journey into adulthood and it is hoped that the more people across the Macedon Ranges that take part, the bigger the impact will be on the whole community. “Societal influence and pressure is the major reason boys tell us they play into stereotypes that limit their potential,” says project coordinator Kathryn Chai.
