Men's Health
Edward Bridgen
At Nindilingarri Cultural Health Services, we recognize the vital importance of men's health as a cornerstone of community well-being. Our dedicated programs are designed to address the unique health needs of men and boys, promoting a holistic approach sexual and reproductive health.
Key Initiatives
1. Mooditj Program: The Mooditj program focuses on sexual health education for young boys, aiming to equip them with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their sexual health. Implemented in several schools across the valley, this initiative fosters a supportive environment where boys can learn about safe practices, consent, and healthy relationships. By addressing these topics early on, we empower the next generation to take charge of their health.
2. Camps and Fishing Trips: We believe in the power of connection and country to enhance health discussions. Our camps and fishing trips provide a unique opportunity to engage young men in conversations about health in a natural, informal setting. These experiences encourage open dialogue about various health topics, including mental health, nutrition, and sexual health, while promoting a strong sense of community and support. Participants are encouraged to engage with the healthcare system and seek help when needed.
3. Condom Trees: To ensure that all people have access to contraception, we have established condom trees throughout the valley. These trees provide 24/7 discreet access to condoms, removing barriers that may prevent young people from practicing safe sex. This initiative not only promotes safe sexual practices but also reinforces the importance of taking responsibility for one’s sexual health.
