ENGAGING WITH MEN AND BOYS
Real stories Dealing with health challenges can feel isolating but hearing from others who have been through it before can help. That’s why we share real, first-person stories from Australian men who are currently living with a health condition or have done so in the past.
I don’t like to see myself as a role model for anything, but I do think that my story certainly could connect with some men. I’m pretty relatable to guys who are in their twenties or thirties. I understand that I have somewhat found that power to change the way that men think about their health. Michael Shafar
The doctor just looked at me and he told me to go straight to the hospital. After some tests, I was diagnosed with heart failure. The doctor said we were lucky we came in that night because if I’d left it another day, I would have been in here on a stretcher. That’s how bad it was. David
