Stories of men from the Mens Wellbeing community

Over the more than 30 years of the existence of Mens Wellbeing (in its various forms) there have been thousands of men who have experienced the varying activities of Mens Wellbeing. It is reasonable to expect that many of them have stories to tell of their involvement.

An opportunity has now been created for those men, who wish to, to tell their stories and to have them on display to be shared with other members of the MW community.

In the introduction to his book “Stories of Manhood” Steve Biddulph (MW Patron) wrote:

Stories are the currency of our humanness. They are like stones with which you can build the mansions of your own life. By reading about the lives of other men, we can broaden our definition of what masculinity means, love with more reassurance, deepen our sense of humanity, and be a part of the
collective project to build a world worth living in.

This activity has been initiated by Rod Smith, a MW Elder and author of the book ripples – A history of Mens Wellbeing, as a means of further highlighting the value of the activities of MW over the years.
