Episode Synopsis

In this special Men's Health Week episode, Sandy Dann sits down with William Hunter, Acting Regional Manager of Social and Emotional Wellbeing & Suicide Prevention at KAMS, and Jared Franey, Men’s Health Coordinator, to talk about the importance of looking after our blokes — not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too.

Together, they yarn about:

Breaking the silence around men’s mental health

Cultural healing, grief, shame and stress in our communities

Simple steps for daily wellbeing, like a yarn, a walk, or getting out on Country

The impact of alcohol and the power of healthy habits

How KAMS is creating safe spaces and programs for men across the Kimberley

A shout-out to grassroots workers like Simone Cox and regional SEWB teams

Resources like 13YARN for mob who need a confidential chat

This episode is a powerful reminder that real strength lies in reaching out, looking after yourself, and supporting your brothers.
