We were lucky enough to send Shane Yardley to the Men's Wellbeing Conference on Friday. Shane reflects on his experience at the event.

Men's Talk and Richmond Wellbeing hosted a one-day conference focused on the wellbeing of men. The Men's Wellbeing Conference bought together experts and thought leaders from various fields to discuss topics that are essential for men to lead happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives, as part of Mens Health Week. The day provided an opportunity to hear from some fantastic organisations that support men alongside some truly inspirational individuals sharing their story. The Men's Wellbeing conference showcased the support that men can access in the community, as well as hearing inspiring stories that help to break the negative stigma surrounding men and their wellbeing.

At the WA Men's Wellbeing Conference 2023, delegates were able to interact and network with experts and presenters in men's wellbeing and related disciplines through keynote presentations, panel forums and workshops.

Speakers included:

Lindsay Hale | Deputy Commissioner | Mental Health Commission, WA

Kim Hughes | Former Australian Cricket Captain
