This webinar will explore what an intergenerational lens is, and how practitioners can use it to better understand families and the interrelated nature of historical factors that inform a family’s current challenges or disadvantages including: mental health concerns, financial difficulties, family and domestic violence, homelessness, poverty, and child protection issues.

This Entree will establish a Newcastle Men's Table that will ultimately meet in-person. In the interim, due to the pandemic lockdown, we will run this entree event on Zoom and support the founding members to commence as a virtual Table.

The Men’s Table is a preventative men’s mental health and community-building initiative, providing a simple, low-cost, grassroots approach. It helps men build meaningful male friendships by creating safe places to share, overcoming the stigma that “men don’t talk”.

Our vision is Healthy Men, Healthy Masculinities, Healthy Communities.
The Men’s Table enables adult men to meet on a monthly basis with the same group of men to share a meal and talk openly about their feelings, and the highs and lows that are impacting their lives and well-being.
