St Ignatius College Geelong is presenting a Men’s Mental Health Week evening with Puka Up’s Wayne Schwass to help raise the profile of men’s mental health within the community.
International Men’s Health Week is celebrated every year around the world in the middle of June. It is an important opportunity to highlight the importance of men’s health, and to promote and support the health and wellbeing of men and boys in our communities.
Men’s Health Week focuses on not just physical health, but also men’s mental health and emotional wellbeing. During the week, we highlight the health challenges faced by men in Australia and worldwide and run events that can be replicated year-round to improve the physical, emotional and mental health of men and boys.
Wayne Schwass was a champion AFL player and has been open about his mental health struggles. He formed Puka Up in 2017 with a vision to end suicide.
St Ignatius College Geelong will host Wayne and Puka Up at 27 Peninsula Drive, Drysdale on Monday June 20 at 6.30pm.
