Men's Shed Alice Springs Inc.

Most men have learned from our culture that they don t talk about feelings & emotions many do not take an interest in their own health and wellbeing. Men are less healthy than women, drink more, take more risks and suffer more from isolation, loneliness and depression. Alice Springs Men's Shed provides: A safe and busy environment where men can talk and interact with others in a similar position in an atmosphere of oldfashioned mateship with no pressure. A place where men can get together talk and support each other, engage in creative activities provided in a workshop environment, as well as getting together for social events. Engagement with other community groups to sponsor events and community volunteering. Promoting good health is based on many factors including feeling good about yourself, being productive, contributing to your community, connecting with friends and maintaining an active body and mind. An environment where men are welcome to work on community projects, specific Men s Shed projects or a project of their choice in their own time.
