The Yarns Men is an opportunity for men to come together to hear a guest speaker and have a yarn with some food.
The Yarns Men, supported by Hope Upstream Charitable Trust hosts a Christchurch based men-only monthly meetup.
This is an opportunity for men from all walks of life to hear an inspirational guest speaker, get tips for managing your mental health and supporting others, and have a yarn over some food.
Our May guest speaker is Ben Reed. Ben is a mechanical engineer from the UK now leading New Zealand-based waterjet manufacturer HamiltonJet as Managing Director. Ben has experience with a close friend taking his own life and his mental health challenges. Come and hear his journey, how this suicide impacted him and what wellbeing measures he has introduced at HamiltonJet.
