The new GYHSAC Men’s Wellbeing & Physical Activity Program kicks off tomorrow, and we’re inviting as many Yarrabah men as possible to come along, get moving and be part of it! 💪🏾

📍 Meet at Noble Drive
📅 Tomorrow - Tuesday, September 8
⏰ 8am start
🚶🏾‍♂️ We’re walking from Noble Drive to the Jetty!

It’s a chance to get outside, get the body moving, have a yarn along the way and connect with other Yarrabah men. 🌿🤝🏾

🎣 And if the mood strikes, there might even be a chance to throw a line in along the way!

🍽️ Lunch is supplied
🚐 A ride home will be provided afterwards.

But tomorrow is just the start.

Over the next six weeks, the Men’s Wellbeing & Physical Activity Program will bring together a range of activities focused on health, fitness, connection and wellbeing - including:

🩺 Adult health checks
🚶🏾‍♂️ Walking
🤸🏾 Exercise & flexibility
💪🏾 Strength & conditioning
🗣️ Wellbeing yarning
🥗 Healthy food & nutrition

Most importantly, this is about Yarrabah men coming together - connecting, having a yarn, bringing our Elders into activities, supporting one another and making positive changes for our health and wellbeing. ❤️

Whether you’re looking to get more active, have a yarn, connect with other men or simply come along and be part of the group, everyone is welcome. ... See MoreSee Less

This Thursday, September 10, Yarrabah will come together for R U OK? & World Suicide Prevention Day, with a community march followed by an afternoon of connection, conversation and activities at Bishop Malcolm Park. 🌻

Last year’s march brought a strong show of community support, and this year everyone is encouraged to come along and help make the turnout even bigger. 🙌🏾

🚶🏾‍♀️ COMMUNITY MARCH
📍 Meet at the corner of Workshop Road & Muku Street
⏰ 10am

➡️ We’ll walk together to Bishop Malcolm Park
Once we arrive, the day will continue until 2pm, with:

🔥 A free BBQ
🎶 Music
🧁 Cupcakes
☕ Tea & coffee
🏆 Prizes
💬 Yarn, connection and conversations.

At the heart of the day is a simple message: checking in with each other matters. ❤️

A question as simple as “Are you OK?” can start an important conversation and remind someone they do not have to carry a difficult time on their own. 🫶🏾

Bring your family, friends, Elders and community and walk with us this Thursday. 👣🌻

📅 Thursday, September 10, 2026

You do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out.
And you do not have to go through hard times alone. 🤝🏽
