The Wandering Man

The Wandering Man Welcome, while Men’s Mental Health has been hidden from the public eye, it is of paramount importance to the well-being of our community.

The Wandering Man - Creating a supportive environment for men’s mental health involves a multi-faceted approach, both in personal spaces such as the home or workplace, and in wider community settings. In Geelong, Victoria, we’re striving to bring this issue to light and provide support where it’s needed most. Men’s mental health is an often-overlooked aspect of our societal well-being, yet it is e

qually as important as any other facet of healthcare. In Geelong, the challenges that men face can be as diverse as the population itself, ranging from stress and anxiety related to employment or financial pressures, to more severe mental health conditions such as depression and PTSD. While societal norms have traditionally dictated a stoic demeanour among men, it’s crucial to understand that vulnerability is not a sign of weakness, but rather an aspect of the human condition. In our community, we’re working to shift the paradigm, encouraging men to speak openly about their mental health and seek support without stigma or judgment.

🌭⛰️ The Wandering Man June BBQ - Back on the Hill! ⛰️🌭

What a fantastic afternoon we had on Sunday as we took the BBQ Trailer up the Hill for the very first time!

It was great to see so many men come together, share a BBQ, have a laugh, and enjoy some genuine connection and new friendships being made, many of the fellas mentioned how good it felt to be back on the Hill. There's something special about the space and the views,
One of the highlights of the day was our check-in. It was a reminder that when men are given a safe and welcoming place to talk, listen, and support one another, meaningful connections are formed. The honesty, encouragement, and camaraderie shared amongst the group is what The Wandering Man is all about.

A huge thank you to all the men who attended, helped set up, packed away, cooked on the BBQ, and made the afternoon such a success. Your support and willingness to show up for each other is what keeps this community growing.

A special welcome to our three newcomers, Alex, Dan, and Abi. We hope you felt right at home and we look forward to seeing you again soon. 👏

A big thank you also to Brett Ellis for taking some fantastic photos and helping us capture the day on short notice. 📸
Due to the overwhelming feedback and requests from the men who attended, we've decided not to wait until the end of July for our next BBQ. We feel that is simply too long between opportunities for blokes to connect,

So we're doing it all again!

A Huge Thank You to Gorge Camorra and the team at Chill Breathe Revive
A massive shout-out to Gorge Camorra from Chill Breathe Revive for facilitating an incredible Calm Breathwork Session and hosting our Pizza Night for The Wandering Man.
The evening provided a great opportunity for the blokes to slow down, connect, and focus on their wellbeing in a relaxed and supportive environment. The feedback from those who attended has been overwhelmingly positive, and it was fantastic to see so many men showing up, checking in with one another, and supporting each other.
We are excited to be partnering with Gorge and Chill Breathe Revive moving forward, and we're looking forward to bringing more breathwork sessions and wellbeing events to our community in the future.
A big thank you to all the blokes who attended and helped make the night such a success. Your willingness to connect, share, and support one another is what makes The Wandering Man community so special.
