Working together with communities to improve well being and cultural connection.

The Mudjilali Men’s Group program collaborates with Elders to run Aboriginal men’s groups across the lower south coast of New South Wales in Eden, Wallaga Lake and Bega.

The program offers:

• weekly men’s group meetings in each community
• drug and alcohol support 
• holistic health and welfare support
• cultural programs introducing younger Aboriginal men to culture
• cultural camps and trips
• community drug and alcohol education events organised by the men
• attendance reports to courts and probation and parole.

To facilitate the building of a network of men’s group across the lower south coast of New South Wales, Lives Lived Well:

• has partnerships with services, national parks and Aboriginal Land Councils
• collaborates with justice services to offer a diversion from custody option
• employs an Aboriginal male drug and alcohol trainee under guidance from a qualified and experienced male Aboriginal worker
• works with male elders who provide community leadership and deliver cultural programs
• builds links with other Aboriginal men’s groups across NSW
• trains Aboriginal men in governance, peer leadership and program planning and support them to take control of the men’s group ongoing including applying for their own funding
• evaluates and disseminates information about the program.
