Thank you.

What I am not clear on at this stage is why initiatives like Men's Sheds are so limited in application. I asked a similar question about PCYCs elsewhere for the same reason, after registering shock at finding out that PCYCs were self-funding.

It is the squeaky wheel perhaps and men's health and welfare do not get the funding in the first place to make a fist of lobbying government. Then again, old people are probably in a similar position.

I spotted a flyer for another resource today

http://livingwell.org.au/

"LivingWell is a Queensland resource which offers a range of services specifically designed to assist men who have experienced childhood sexual abuse or sexual assault, their partners, friends and family and service providers. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual abuse as a child, or adult, please know that you are not alone. Support and assistance is available."

It looks like a great resource (again not for everyone).

That is a great resource R0bert. Thanks for the link.

While I understand what you're saying, that "it's not for everyone"; I hope that everyone takes the trouble to read that site to at least be well informed about the issues it addresses.
