Yeah, It’s All Good: Men Keeping Themselves Well

Why do men, especially in rural areas, struggle to talk about their problems? What’s standing in the way?

Are the men of today okay and how do they keep themselves well?

Join us for a candid conversation about masculinity, society, health, wealth, life, death and everything in between, featuring writers and personalities Matt Heath and Paddy Gower; Federated Farmers President and YOLO Farmer Wayne Langford; and Irish farmer and writer John Connell.

With Phil Quin asking the questions.

Farm Strong’s book Getting Through will be available free for audience members.

Generously sponsored by Farm Focus. Helping farms get to thriving for 45 years.
