Shedder's Wellbeing Workshop - Buderim

Men’s Sheds have always had a justifiable reputation for helping men at different stages of their lives, whether it is looking after member’s physical, mental or social wellbeing. To put it simply, shedders look out for their mates - even if they can no longer get down to the Shed.

In 2021 AMSA received funding from Black Dog Ride to help us develop and roll out our Shed Mates initiative. This shedder wellbeing initiative provides Men’s Sheds with a framework that includes resources and training to either initiate and/or continue the ongoing support for member wellbeing, the strategies have been gathered from Sheds across Australia that focus on the improved mental wellbeing and health outcomes of their members.

We have teamed up with Buderim Men’s Shed to host a Shedder’s Wellbeing Workshop, which will include a Shed Mates in Action workshop and a wellbeing update from QMSA Regional Coordinator Frank Pearce.
