Hants Men's Shed
Gathering
A future space for men of all ages and abilities to gather for tea 🍵 or coffee ☕, hang out, talk, and work on hobbies, projects for themselves and community organizations, giving back to those in need.
❤️Thanks to Men's Sheds Canada for the support.
Planned Activities
📅 We hope to have bi-weekly or monthly meetings along with the opportunity to gather together to work on those projects shoulder to shoulder or on our own.
First things first
🛖 While a better physical shed with a tool library is still under design, some of us continue to clean, fix and prepare a temporal space. Please contact us if you would like to participate in renovating this space.
Addressing Men’s Health and Wellness
As men age, major life changes such as retirement, widowhood, or divorce often result in social isolation and loss of purpose that can adversely impact mental and physical health. Research indicates older men experience higher rates of depression and anxiety and are at increased risk of suicide as these conditions often go undiagnosed and untreated. Studies also suggest only 30% of men who experience mental health issues seek help, often due to social stigma.
