After nights across rural Victoria and Melbourne, the Daylesford night a year later featured in the ABC Documentary by Beyond Productions, 'A Problem with Men'. Since 1995 nights and workplace sessions have been conducted across Australia and in Canada for Indigenous and non-Indigenous men with over 10,500 men participating in the CAMH sessions. |

The Men's Health Night or Workplace Men's Health sessions are now the preferred option by a range of organisations to provide men with a range of health messages. CAMH now provides a night for women "Understanding Men" (see results under Research & Findings) and more importantly an option for Indigenous communities (see RMHP findings). 'The Bloke's Night Out' is a valuable tool for providing men with a pathway to the health system and recognising the value of good health and early intervention risk assessment. CAMH provides a range of other sessions including Workplace Health/Adolescents LifeSkills and development of our Check-Mate screening program along with the resources to develop the Bloke's Night Out.'

- Bernard has just returned from Utopia (yes, there is such a place). see the photo album.
Utopia is the location of a remote Central Australian Health Service NT, a unique service with devoted and caring staff that offers health services to Aboriginal Camp Communities across this remote area.
Through the support and commitment of the Central Australian Division of Primary Health Care, Bernard Denner of CAMH offers a 'Point of Care Intervention Health Program' that supports local providers to identify risk factors for a range of chronic diseases & then support an intervention process that reduces health risks in this remote community.
- Bernard attended the Men's Health Australia Longitudinal Study stakeholder forum hosted by Governor Professor David deKretser at Government House, Melbourne June 10th, organised by Andrology Australia.
