We were thrilled to have two leading Shedders join Dr. Merle Massie on the Field of Mind Podcast in early December. Brian Sawyer, Outreach and Member Services Manager for Men’s Sheds Canada, and Punch Jackson, co-chair of the Alberta Men’s Sheds Association, spoke about the role Sheds can play in supporting men’s physical and mental health, while supporting their communities.
For Brian, it’s all about bringing people together to work, listen, and learn from each other. “It’s the guys. It’s not necessarily the Shed.” As Punch explains, Sheds provide “somewhere to go, something to do, someone to talk to.”
Field of Mind is part of the Do More Agricultural Foundation, a national champion for mental health in Canadian agriculture. Listen to the full podcast on Youtube: https://youtu.be/dY1W0-4SWsk?si=0CdIJzXSikxR5g1I
