This three-year research program aims to provide an understanding of what makes Indigenous Men’s Spaces safe and healthy places for men and how this might benefit families and communities. The program comes under the umbrella of the Chronic Conditions Program and can be thought of as two distinct but related projects: a Men’s Spaces pilot project, and a Men’s Chronic Conditions project. The first pilot project is jointly funded by the CRCAH and beyondblue and involves seven sites located mainly on Australia’s eastern seaboard. It aims to identify the essential characteristics of existing Indigenous Men’s Spaces through the employment of local Indigenous male Project Associates. 

The second project is partially funded by the CRCAH and seeks to understand if and why participation in chronic conditions programs by Indigenous males is improved through association with safe and well-facilitated Indigenous Men’s Spaces, and how this might benefit families and communities.
