Supporting Yass Men: Health, Mateship, and Where to Get Help
To mark Men’s Health Week, we open up about prostate cancer and discuss the importance of getting tested, as well as the support available for men in the Yass Valley.
We join the Yass RSL Sub-Branch as they host a Men’s Health Week event at the Yass Veterans Hub. Special guests Peter Gibbs and Terry Butler from the Yass Prostate Cancer Support Group speak with veterans and their families about men’s health and why early testing matters.
We also chat with Ginger Carr, Secretary of the Yass RSL Sub-Branch, about the Yass Veterans Hub and the range of support services available to veterans across the Yass Valley.
Yass Veterans Hub
Veterans are welcome to drop in to the Yass Soldiers Memorial Hall for the Yass Veterans Hub on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month, from 10am to 12pm. This service is open to all veterans and their families - regardless of service or RSL membership. Tea, coffee, biscuits and muffins are always on hand, so come along for information, support, and a friendly chat.
