This new initiative is complemented by important Community Partnerships between:
- The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia
- The Continence Foundation of Australia
- Rotary International
- Lions Australia
- The National Network of Prostate Cancer Support Groups
- National Men’s Health Volunteer Ambassador Speakers
All Ambassador Speakers have an interest in men’s health and are men and women from rural, regional and metropolitan Australia, some men have had a diagnosis of Prostate Cancer. They have received training in Prostate Health and Continence Health as well as training in public speaking.
At every speaking engagement the Men’s Health Ambassador Speakers will leave a Men’s Health Information Kit with the group. This includes information on Prostate Cancer and other conditions of the prostate such as Prostate Enlargement and Prostatitis. Continence Health brochures and the National Continence Helpline staffed by Continence Nurses Advisors are also included. beyondblue: the national depression initiative has donated a copy of John Ashfield’s book “Taking Care of Yourself and Your Family” for the Men’s Health Ambassador Speakers to leave with the Chair of the organisation, other free copies can be ordered for your audience from beyondblue: the national depression initiative.
Every member of the audience will receive a copy of the National Men’s Health Links that contain contacts for important organisations related to many aspects of men’s health. This ensures that men with a concern about Depression, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease or other men’s health issues will have contact details for important organisations available to offer confidential and professional support.
