Sons of the West

Graduates from the Sons of the West program

There’s nothing better than having a chat with a friend and the Sons of the West program is back to give men that sense of community again.

The Sons of the West program guides discussions and provides opportunities to increase physical and mental health, and is delivered by Council in partnership with Western Bulldogs Community Foundation.

This free 10-week men's health program is open to men who live, work, play or train in the City of Maribyrnong. 

Participants learn about a broad range of health topics, increase their physical activity levels, enjoy eating healthier food and make improvements to their mental wellbeing. Most importantly, they share a health and wellbeing journey with support from other like-minded men in Maribyrnong.

Previous Sons of the West programs have covered the following health topics:

  • Nutrition
  • Mental health
  • Cultural diversity
  • Gender equity
  • Cancer prevention
  • Alcohol habits
  • Gambling harm
  • Heart health

Sons of the West is back in April 2026 and registrations are now open. Click on the link below to find out more about Sons of the West and register for the program.
