A few weeks back, a group of 30-odd blokes in Kalgoorlie celebrated the 100th trip on the Men’s Bush Trip program. As its founder I was proud.
But behind my smiles and good humour, there was frustration.
The Men’s Bush Trips began in 2021 as part of a suite of programs provided by Mara Pirni Healing Place, WA’s first regional family and domestic violence and abuse hub.
This Kalgoorlie hub was co-designed with the community, who insisted on men’s services alongside services for women and children.
