BLUE SEPTEMBER AUSTRALIA
Each year, more than 22,000 (AIHW) Australian men die of cancer. Common types of cancers causing death in men are lung, prostate, bowel, melanoma and testicular.
In many cases, male cancer deaths can be prevented through healthy lifestyle decisions and early detection.
Blue September is a campaign created to get the message out about cancer in men. It aims to raise awareness among all Australians about cancers affecting men and urges men to take preventative action by improving lifestyle choices. It is also about encouraging people to make a donation for cancer research, to help find a cure for the disease that affects so many Australian men.

Feeling better about yourself can come from sharing experiences in a friendly and non-judgmental setting.
Mensplace, a Relationships Australia program, offers the time and space to focus on good emotional and mental health. Group sessions, courses and workshops conducted in a professional way offer the opportunity to listen, chat and learn about what matters to men in their relationships with those close to them.
