Join us for the launch of a powerful new space for regional men to connect, reflect and grow.
The Parkes Men’s Growth Room is a free monthly gathering where men come together to talk, listen, and support one another in a safe, judgment-free environment. It's not therapy, it’s not formal—it’s real conversations among local men who show up for each other.
This launch event is your opportunity to:
-
Learn what the Growth Room is all about
-
Sign up today or on the night to be part of the Parkes Growth Room or become a facilitator - Welcome to Growth Rooms - Lifeline Central West
-
Hear from local voices
-
Connect over food and conversation
-
Explore the full range of Lifeline Central West’s support services and programs
Are you interested in learning to facilitate?
We’re now taking enrolments for our next free facilitator training course—a great opportunity to build skills and give back to your community.
Importantly, the evening will also serve as a community consultation to identify local needs and service gaps. Both men and women are invited to attend and contribute to shaping future programs in the Parkes region.
We particularly encourage primary producers and rural men to attend, recognising the unique pressures faced in farming and remote living. While the Growth Room is designed for men, this event is open to the broader community.
This initiative is proudly delivered by Lifeline Central West, with establishment funding provided by the Mazda Foundation. The launch event is supported by GrainCorp and Parkes Shire Council, whose contributions have made this gathering possible – and Western NSW Primary Health Network (PHN) support for community consultation and engagement.
Launch Event is free to attend | Food and drinks provided
Come along, bring a mate, and help shape what’s next for wellbeing in Parkes.
