About SBS
SBS ended in early 2022 and empowered men to move from poor health &/or isolation to healthy social participation or active engagement in the labour market. It promoted a culture in which all citizens in all regions will have the confidence to make sustainable positive changes in their lives benefitting themselves & society. The changes included: reduced health costs related to physical & mental health issues; better health contributing to healthier individuals, families, communities & workforce; increased labour market activity; decreased number of work days lost to poor health.
