The Man Cave – Parent Experience

Thu, 10 Sep, 7pm - 8:30pm AEST

The Man Cave

Brunswick VIC, Australia

"Step inside the room where teenage boys actually open up."

This is a practical, experiential workshop, not a keynote or a lecture. Parents will leave having used TMC's tools firsthand, with shared language and at least one thing they can do differently at home. Best suited to parents of boys, especially teenage boys.

Broad outcomes: by the end of the Parent Experience, parents will:

Experience firsthand the tools and activities the Man Cave uses in workshops.
Feel more confident and equipped to connect with their son using shared language and simple strategies.
Leave with a clearer sense of what their son may be carrying, and one thing they can do differently at home.
Feel a sense of connection and community with other parents, realising they are not alone in what they are navigating.

Bookings essential

Winter Wellness: Don't Let Winter Slow You Down!

Winter is here, and while the colder weather can make it tempting to stay under a blanket all day, it's important to keep looking after your health. Colds, flu and other bugs spread more easily during winter, but there are plenty of ways to stay on top of your game:

❄️ Aim for 8–10 hours of sleep each night

🥗 Fuel your body with healthy food and plenty of water

🏃 Keep moving – sport, walking, dancing or any activity you enjoy counts!

🧼 Wash your hands regularly and cover coughs and sneezes

🏠 Stay home and rest if you're feeling unwell

😊 Make time for friends, family and activities that help you feel good

It’s also not too late to get the flu vaccine. Getting your flu vaccine can:

💪 Help protect you from getting sick

📚 Reduce missed school days and activities

❤️ Help protect babies, grandparents and others who may be more vulnerable

🛡️ Slow the spread of flu in our school community

A few simple healthy habits can help you stay well, stay active and make the most of everything winter has to offer! 🌟❄️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
