In partnership with the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation, Watergardens Town Centre is delivering the ‘Sons of the West’ (SOTW) program to western Melbourne, an initiative that aims to build the profile of physical and mental health in men through activating community support.
In an area where around 52% of residents are classified as obese or pre-obese, 50% don’t meet dietary guidelines, and more than half report they don’t feel valued by their community, the SOTW program aims to break down barriers to participation and access to assistance that so often prevent men from addressing health issues in their own lives.
