Testicular cancer. “Ben Smith was fobbed off about the hard lump on his left testicle in December. When the lump swelled and start-ed causing him considerable pain, the 25-year-old was told it was probably just hormonal. " By mid-January, the pain had become "horrific", he had to ask his GP to send him for a scan. It was testic-ular cancer. Testicular cancer is the second most prevalent cancer diagnosed in men aged 20 to 39. It grows rapidly but has excellent outcomes if detected early. See Andrology Australia's clinical guidelines for diagnosing and managing testicular cancer. ” More: bit.ly/2JU8e8H
Men's health - NT.GOV.AU Men's health in Northern Territory of Australia. “Men tend to have high rates around diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and some cancers, such as testicular and prostate. Health surveys show that men smoke more tobac-co, drink more alcohol, are less active than women and have a higher rate of depression and su-icide. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men in the NT, the effects of generational trauma from being disempowered and through loss of culture are contributing fac-tors to poor health. To raise aware-ness around improving men's health, there needs to be a focus on prevention, including approaches that target the different stages of a man's life.” Sites: bit.ly/2JYCEtE
Engaging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men in primary care settings. “There are signifi-cant barriers to health service ac-cess for Indigenous men, particu-larly in remote areas. Andrology Australia provides resources de-signed to help break down those barriers and improve health out-comes (See list). Awareness of the importance of cultural factors to the health and wellbeing of Abo-riginal and Torres Strait Islander males, whether the man lives in the suburbs or in a remote Indige-nous community, can help all working with Indigenous men.” More: bit.ly/2ItCHsM
‘Under Saturn’s Shadow- the wounding and healing of men’, by James Hollis. “Naturally, without a capacity for introspection, one is doomed to live in a w0rld created by projection and, no surprise, find one’s fantasy, and worst fears, re-flected back. As children have often been historically, up against the odds, as part of the family survival network without having their own needs being addressed.” (P46.) Websites: amzn.to/2izJ06t (Click on book photo, scroll down for some pages from the book. Chapters 2 and 5 special if you have this book. Ed.)
Men and Social Connectedness. “Being valued, belonging, whether to a large family, a network of friends or a volunteer organisa-tion is related to better health and lower mortality rates. Social con-nectedness has a positive impact on general health and mental wellbeing. Loneliness and social isolation is detrimental to our health and may lead to depres-sion, anxiety and higher rates of suicide.” See: bit.ly/2poheIi and: bit.ly/2yV0h1S
Man Alive is a men's gather-ing in Fitzroy Falls, NSW, over the weekend 7-9th September 2018. “Come join us there. It’s an opportunity for men, younger and older to come together and share, explore and celebrate in an at-mosphere of respect. Relax or go bush-walking. You choose what you want to do - be it a workshop, relaxing, taking quiet time for personal reflection or spending time making new friends.” More: bit.ly/2aiLguO www.manalive.org.au/ FAQs replies: bit.ly/2Kwkxbr Directions: bit.ly/2A5r8UU Early Bird 20/7: bit.ly/2tEpuIK Future: bit.ly/2KyJyWE
Booklet: Supporting Men in Dis-tress, by John Ashfield. “Alcohol use is a widely-accepted part of Australian culture, and it’s the most commonly used mood-changing recreational drug. The misuse of alcohol is one of the chief causes of preventable death in Australia, it is significantly implicated in social and domestic violence, and has a variety of negative effects on men-tal health. Alcohol is actually a cen-tral nervous system depressant and not a stimulant as popularly be-lieved.” (P.38.) Booklet preview: bit.ly/2fLoo62
