The Penrith community is one to be proud of. When it comes to issues that are close to the heart ❤️ we stand up when it counts. We have each others back, and we care… deeply.
The Penrith Men’s Walk and Talk is one of those causes. It stands for an issue that cannot be ignored, and that must be talked about. Men’s mental health. Blokes make up an average six out of every eight suicides every single day in Australia. The number of men who die by suicide in Australia every year is nearly double the national road toll… We’ve all got special blokes in our lives, so this statistic scares the proverbial 💩 out of us.
It’s simple really… a group of men take a walk around our scenic river, talk and support each other.. and no one walks alone. Ever. The stereotype that men should never express their emotions and should never talk about their struggles is being crushed by this great local initiative.
We’ve said it many times, and we’ll continue to sing it loud… we’re proud to be Penrith, we’re proud to be a part of this incredible community. And it was our pleasure and honour to be involved in the Penrith Men’s Walk and Talk last week.
